 Replying to [comment:8 afb@…]:
 > Checking whether "binaryInPath" actually succeeds when guessing
 bzip2/lzma/unzip/hdiutil seems like a good idea...
 But that only helps when the extract utility does not exist. It does not
 help when the extract utility exists but does not work, as has happened
 several times when a MacPorts-installed bzip2 is migrated to a new
 machine; [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
