[CMake] Decompressing a file with cmake

[AKHRES Nader]

It sounds exactly like what I need (I'm already in a cmake script) but 
I'd rather stick to an official version for my users up to now.

To answer Eric and Droscy, I manage to use an external python script to 
uncompress (I use python already for other purpose) the downloaded file 
but I'd rather use the cmake -E tar command as soon as it is available 
in release flavour.
David, have you any idea in which version it is expected to be? CMake 2.9?
