- Adding minitar as dependency
- Adding vendor file to handle the tasks

the vendor.json file should be placed at the root of the gem file
This file defines all the remote sources that should be downloaded.
The content of it is an array of hashes.
Each hash has the following settings:
- url
- sha1
- files

url is the url of the remote source
sha1 is the sha1 fingerprint we use for validation of the downloaded file
files can have different settings and is only used for .tar.gz / .tgz files
not setting it extracts the whole tar.gz file

A Regexp allows extracting specific files
