Ok.

For the archive_util, could you add an API to register new
or update existing archive formats.

We're currently using a simple dictionary update for this, but
that's not really clean:

# Register our version of make_tarball()
distutils.archive_util.ARCHIVE_FORMATS.update({
    'gztar': (mx_make_tarball, [('compression', 'gzip')], 'gzipped tar-file'),
    'bztar': (mx_make_tarball, [('compression', 'bzip2')], 'bzip2ed tar-file'),
    'ztar':  (mx_make_tarball, [('compression', 'compress')], 'compressed tar file'),
    'tar':   (mx_make_tarball, [('compression', None)], 'tar file'),
    })
