You could use zlib and libtar (or something similar) to handle the data in-program or, because you are on Linux, use QProcess to execute the standard tar/gzip utilities. The TAR file format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_%28file_format%29) is quite simple, so you could write your own TAR handler in conjunction with zlib (or the qUncompress() function with some fiddling). Other compression options will require other libraries.
