The only one I have is .tbz, as I don't think that is supported in
CPANPLUS, where the original detection came from for YACSmoke. There is
also the issue that CPAN::Distnameinfo doesn't support bzip2 :(

I'm also not too sure about tar.Z either. It is certainly ignored by the
cpan data generation tools at the moment.
