Making a .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 packer plugin

[ctiberg]

I personally feel that the built-in support for .tar.gz is somewhat lacking, in that it first extracts the .tar file, and then lets me look inside that. The net effect of this is, more often than not, me ending up in the temp directory without wanting to be there, 'cause TC forgot that I started in another dir with the .tar.gz file.

But as far as I can see, it'd be impossible to do this kind of plugin, since the internal support of .gz files would block me. Or am I wrong?

This beast would be highly useful to us, since we're using lots of *nix stuff...
