I agree that Fink doesn't need to provide a handler for each possible extension (though that would be nice). But given the prevalence of bzip2, it makes sense to me to provide a handler for .tar.bz2 as well as tbz files, despite the latter's rarity. And adding a handler for tbz's would nicely parallel our handling of tgz's. The idea of decompressing the tbz in CompileScript strikes me as inelegant.
