Import Unix standard archives

Registered by Sébastien Heymann

Currently Gephi only supports ZIP archives at graph file import, a standard in Windows environment.

For Unix/Linux users, other archives are generally used with a better compression rate:
* .gzip
* .bzip2
Most of the time wrapping a tarball (.tar) archive.

Tar format: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_%28file_format%29

Java only supports ZIP and JAR compression files.
Gzip file reading can be implemented using: import java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream
Bzip2 archives can be handled with this Apache Ant library: http://www.kohsuke.org/bzip2/
