In peoples general opinions, would there be any call for a tarball handling module ?

Isn't libtar GPL? If it's BSDish, then it would make a useful PECL extension. Already checked - According to freshmeat, it's BSD.

But cool, if you think it's worthwhile then I'll polish clamav and then start doing this one in a week or so.

It's probably GPL; the site doesn't bother to tell you the license, which usually means that the person or people behind it have no real idea about licensing and ended up going for the GPL because thats the only one they've heard about </sweeping_statement>. Yeah, it was a bit ;-)

Also, I was wondering if there's any way to determine from within one module if another module is enabled ?

Which leads to the question, "why do you need to know?" :) Just contemplating how to play around with things like .tar.gz & .tar.bz2 files automatically with as little interaction on the client end as possible.
