updates docs, adds unzip func for bz2 gz tar msu¬ - Added functionality for unzipping/decompressing bzip gzip tar exe (self extracting) and msu (ms update) files to coincide with added functionality to win_zip¬ - Added functionality requires PSCX (it will be installed if it can't be imported)¬¬ - First try with chocolatey, if fail, direct install from msi - Added recurse param to recursively unzip files from a compressed folder¬ - useful for example: unzipping a Log.zip file that contains a load of .gz files¬ - setting rm param to true will remove all compressed files after decompressing¬
