oss-bit-size bugs/RFE, at least to me, but that's an interesting task and I
think it'd be usefull.
My personal preference for such an implementation would be to
use "popen()" and then let all the rest be the same.
Linking the compress algorithm into tar seems overkill.
While I must admit I only use the options for unpacking in which case
no option seems to be preferred over any option:
(if the file is any known compression algorithm, call with
the appropriate decompression algorithm)
