Have you looked at untar.js? https://code.google.com/p/bitjs/source/browse/untar.js?r=0eca1f06d91e1477e3708531939c8071fc877855
On a tangentially-related note, I've done some work on a python sword zmodule reader. It's stalled a bit now, because I've seen recommendations to use the C++ libraries, and just bindings to other languages. I understand the desire, but I think that Javascript is a good example of why that's not acceptable in all cases. For some distribution methods, it may be necessary to have everything implemented in a particular scripting language, such as for a Client-side Javascript bible reader. I think that encouraging using the C++ library is good, but it's even more important to make sure that the file formats are well documented, to allow alternate implementations if they are necessary.
