I think your best bet for foul weather pitching would be just the tensioner. 6 or 7 inches of tubing with the rope and loops on either end. Run it through your tarps D-ring and then hook both loops to your ground point.
Imagine this....
Is your tensioner. The tubing would go from loop to loop. The D-ring would be attached to your tarp and the loops would go over your stake. Much like the MYOG tensioners.
Or do as tlbj suggested, just put the stake right through the tarp D-ring.
I can make up some tensioners if you interested, but a full guy line wont give you "to the ground" performance.
EDIT: Or just use a loop of shock cord. Larks head that to your D-ring and put the end over a stake.

the tensioners are good for the sil tarps but if you have cuben it does not stretch under snow or ice. Not rain for that matter the wind can blow it in a little if it is really strong but it springs back to normal right after Also making sure you use some sort of spectra cordage will cut down on the stretch there
I am not sure of spinn texx maybe some one with a spinn tarp can say but i dont think it is supposed too either.
Both Cuben and Spinn are, for all intents and purposes, no-stretch. There is an ample amount of bias-stability built into Spinn which keeps it in place overnight.
It's the nylons that need the tensioners, I wouldn't bother with the other two.
