The test suite for bsdtar is designed to be
run against different implementations.  It
has quite a bit of bsdtar-specific knowledge
at the moment, but it shouldn't be much work
to modify it to be more agnostic.

Which version of CMake were you testing?
CMake recently switched their TAR implementation
to use libarchive (the same library used by
bsdtar); I'd be very interested in you found
problems in the libarchive-based implementation.
