There is code for unpacking gzip and tar but I don't think we should 
start mixing formats and zip is kind of what we always did.

The modules are in the imp files (mentioned when loaded) but the urls 
are sort of abstract (and resolved in the installer).

I've added an option to directly pass an url but I suppose that is only 
for testing. After all, we expect some quality checks and thats what the 
garden does.

   24 files of   83 done,    4655619 bytes, 0.039 seconds
....

but as said, it's only for testing (or for modules not yet mentioned in 
the imp file).

Keep in mind that no files are deleted. When all modules are 
consistently packages I can make a 'remove old' feature.
