* Added support for single (non-archive) files compressed using
compress (.Z), gzip (.GZ), bzip2 (.BZ2) or lzip (.LZ).
* Recognize .TBZ2 and .TBZ as value TAR.BZ2 extensions.
* Fixed some status text which wasn't NLV-enabled.

unfortunately not very effective as ARJ takes a LONG time to return
when the password is incorrect).
