add file extension filter flag, with suffixes to ignore #33

Add an option with file extensions to use --compression=none on,
such as .gz or .bzip2 or uncompressable files like .mp3 or .jpg

The zip command uses the colon character as file suffix delimiter,
such as: "zip -rn .Z:.zip:.tiff:.gif:.snd  foo foo" for instance

Hmm, maybe the --no-compress flag already does this...

Right, --no-compress should do this, sorry for not remembering that earlier.

xar should also do some intelligent compression choices for not compressing 
already
compressed data.
