In-memory TAR file management

[dgrant]

This was reported on the original eyefiserver project:

A simple enhancement to avoid some filesystem and disk IO using cStringIO to manage TAR file in-memory (and extracts images only, avoding embedded logs)

If anyone wants to test this out, please do. I've tested on Linux with python 2.7.3 and it works fine. I'd like someone to test on a NAS. The only thing I can see not working is if cStringIO is not available.

Tested on QNAP with QTS 4.1.1 firmware (x86, ubuntu-based according to /proc/version) with Perl 2.7
Download seems to be fine!

cool

It should work fine on any device with Perl 2.7 IMO, but for sure it's better to wait until someone tested it on any ARM/MIPS NAS.
