Compress currently views itself as library to build tools like the one
you describe.  Lister really isn't much more than a POC.

It schould be fairly easy to grab some code from Compress' unit tests
and docs to put together a generic uncompressor.

A more complex example might be the Compress Antlib which provides Ant
tasks based on Commons Compress (for creating and extracting archives)
