[VFS] example code contributed to wiki

[Ken Tanaka <Ke...@noaa.gov>]

I placed some example code that uses the VFS API into the apache.org 
wiki VfsCookbook. The example demonstrates the retrieving of files from 
a tar file, decompressing any content that is gzipped as well. While 
it's still fresh in my mind, it would be nice if anyone interested in 
VFS documentation could take a look and make suggestions (or make 
corrections directly, it IS a wiki after all).

Hi!

Good work! I am happy with every contribution which makes it easier for
others to jump into VFS.

One thing, to make your example even more general.
Instead of:
if (extractFile.getName().getExtension().equals("gz"))

you can do something like:

if (manager.canCreateFileSystem(extractFile))
{
    FileObject innerFile = manager.createFileSystem(extractFile);
}

That way, if VFS is aware of the type of the file, it automatically
"drill-down" into the file.

Ciao,
Mario
