bzip should be kept separate as it is useful outside of those who use it to
compress archives.

The tar stuff comes from ant which I believe was forked back ages ago (I
believe Tim wanted to continue using (L)GPL which Ant couldn't use). I
think the ant one has a few more features (handles sun/gnu tars) but not
entirely sure.

The different components have different dependencies and at different
stages of evolution so it doesn't seem wise to try and keep them together.

Had a brief look and it does not look like commons one is (or intends to
be) the same as GNU standard.
