untbz is actually just an extension I made to the original untgz in 
order to support .tar.bz2 files, the gzip code is identical so that 
wasn't strictly necessary. It won't hurt anything to use it instead and 
it's the one I'm using anyway.

the plugin page anyway.

No, it's fine - I have some updates to do for a 5.1.4 which I'm working 
on right now. I want to get the uninstall thing sorted out and some code 
in to try to prevent the user from installing in a silly path.
