I was just suggesting Archive_Tar because Archive_Zip looks deserted.
;-) But if anyone wants to fix it up, that's cool too.

I wasn't aware that Windows cannot handle tar (or tar.gz). I just know
WinZip does it, Winrar and on MacOSX there's no concern either. There
are also multiple freeware tools to do that but of course we *should*
focus on what most users have installed.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to make this configurable. ;-)
