Additional archiving/compression options #47

I use xz compression for most of my backups (I can afford the extra time and save myself a few bucks on storage). I guess other people might do the same with it or bz2.

So it would be very useful to have archiving/compression options in bakthat to choose .tar, .tbz2, .tar.xz...
