GuardDog accepts .tar.gz and .tgz when checking whether or not a file is a tarball. This leaves out another valid extension for this same kind of compressed archive (.gz) as well as bzip2 and xz compressed archives that are also supported by the tarsafe package used for safe extraction.
We should add these other file extensions to be more compatible and reduce errors.
