Title: Support additional compression formats.

We can let tar (even Apple's on 10.5+) figure out what uncompression program to call, and thus support .tar.xz archives.

Unfortunately, it's not _quite_ that simple, since TarFilesRename uses pax instead of tar, so we still have to have a finite number of filetypes that we can uncompress and feed to pax.
