I think if Nicolas Pouillard wants/has the time to implement "use_tgz"
this sound a good idea. For now, i think ocaml-archives should only take
care of downloading/making accessible tarballs. Ocaml-archives won't go
into distribution specific details -- for now. 

If we succeed in doing so, we will see what can be done with it.
