Extensibility of file types; en- and disable them for a call #55

Thanks for this tool!

It would be great if it could use additional configuration (/etc/dtrx.conf or a .d directory) to specify how to extract other kinds of data - like .jar, .odt, .docx, etc.

Then it might be useful to enable/disable recursive extraction of these for individual calls - sometimes I want to extract everything (virus scanning), other times text data (.odt) should be ignored.

Ah, I see that it already does extract .jar. Great!

The only small problem I see is that dtrx -r -v ... only reports local filenames - eg. when extracting a .deb I get a paragraph for changelog.gz to changelog, but there's no hint which changelog (from which directory) this comes from.

That might matter if some archive contains multiple files with the same name in different directories - ie. an x.zip containing g/y.zip and h/y.zip, then the output lines (sub-structure) for the y.zips can't be associated.
