Inspired by commit 7e8f1469c4168875b54956d63884b8583ce99e38, use our given PKGEXT or SRCEXT to determine what method of compression to use on the package we create. If the extension is invalid, this should fall back to creating a non-compressed tar file.

Looks nice, and repo-add and pacman could already handle tar.gz and tar.bz2 transparently.

I forgot a note saying this was completely untested. We will want to obviously run it through its paces if possible. -Dan
