The unpack code is rather old, its age being around a decade. A decade
ago, tar without inbuilt decompression support was not uncommon. The
code has remained unchanged...

zlib was added, I know that most tar has bzip2 now. I'm not 100% sure
which formats we could rely on being in tar though. It would also be
interesting to know which performs better on a multicore system.

Cheers,
