separate 'type' from 'extension' in packages
--------------------------------------------

                 Key: BUILDR-217
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-217
             Project: Buildr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Packaging
    Affects Versions: 1.3.2
            Reporter: Ittay Dror
             Fix For: 1.3.4


#package currently uses spec[:type] for both the 'type' of the artifact and the 
extension given to the file name.

but sometimes files with the same extension may be of different types. in OSGI 
for example, the extension is always .jar, but they can be bundles or 
fragements. another example is source jars or zips. their type is 'source', 
regardless of the extension (as long as it is some sort of zip of course).

in maven, ArtifactHandler separates between extension and 'packaging' i think 
it would be good for buildr to have the same
