The unpack builder returns a list of files & directories in an archive and the download builder get the file. So I hope, that I can download, extract and compile the sources in one short step. (The unpack builder works at the moment with *nix systems, Windows calls are not implementated yet)

I have post the links to all files, you can download the full code with an example SConstruct: https://github.com/flashpixx/Storage/tree/master/Scons
