Cool, if it was there I'd be very impressed. I just have an untar action very similar to the unzip in the Native touchpoint. I'm using the tar and bzip2 packages from Apache as well as the builtin gzip input stream. It could be generic enough to put in the Native. But we'd need to figure out how to introduce the Apache dependencies. They are a part of the ant.jar file in the org.apache.ant plugin (which is where I got them). But it's full of other stuff too.

Could you tell us more about what are the actions provided by your touchpoint and what you are doing with the tarball? If it is really simple and generic we could probably make it available in the native touchpoint.

I have written my own touchpoint that installs tarballs and have been able to generate the right repositories to download and install them from the MinGW website. Very cool and easy once you know how. The next part of this is to figure out how to get the plug-in with my touchpoint into people's hands. The ultimate would be for this to be represented in the metadata somehow where I could mark this as a capability my plug-in provides that the engine could auto install before installing the artifacts that need it. Is this capability there, or something nifty we could add next release.
