Description

Currently, the fetcher (on Windows) only deals with .zip files (not .tar, .gzip, or other common compression schemes). This is because the various compression programs don't exist on Windows.

We should look at adding programmatic decompressors in Mesos so the fetcher can deal with any file type regardless of O/S.
