Hi,

It also doesn't understand .tbz2, both of which are fairly common extentions for gzipped and bzipped tar files.
Simply adding to the appropriate case match in guesscompress does the trick.

listing things in the compression list isnt the way to go.  there is already logic in there to handle things, it just broke over time.
