hi there,
this patch adds the missing functionality (creating a tar.gz containing the module skeleton with PEAR::Archive-Tar).. also some minor improvements, notably i removed the iframes and replaced them by links; not every browser supports iframes and it is not that much of a functionality loss. Also I propose to include the archive_tar.php or at least rename and correct link to point to the PEAR site..
comments appreciated :)

This is going to need work to get onto the 6-2 branch.

Sorry no resources for working on it.

Also, there was old D6 (or older!??) code for writing files which worked at *some* point, didn't get updated to D7, and now is just sitting around doing nothing.

I've removed it, as it refers to lots of functions that are either obsolete or that I want to remove and I don't want traces of them around.

If someone wants to refer to it for working on this issue, the commit removing them is 143acaf642c827f94d50989173e0760995cbdb62.

I doubt this is something I will ever implement myself, but moving this to the current branch in case someone wants to tackle it.
