smbtar and ksh vs sh

I have discovered that under Digital UNIX, and maybe even HPUX, the default
shell does not support getopts very well.

I have a small script that can check this out.

However, I think that it would be best to change smbtar from using sh to ksh.

Does anyone think this would break any systems?

An alternative would be to change the first line of smbtar depending on
what system it is being installed on.
