[wp-hackers] Upgrade instructions fatally flawed for Mac

[Aaron Brazell]

I'm not aware of a tar flag either, but you could certainly script  
it. drop it in /usr/bin just so you have it for use later just by  
typing the command

bash script wp-untar:
#!/bin/bash
wget http://www.wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz >&2>/dev/null
tar zxvf latest.tar.gz
rsync -r wordpress/* dest_dir/
