Adding it is possible. However, mods.d.tar.gz is optional and you cannot count on it to exist everywhere. If there is no mods.d.tar.gz then the InstallMgr operates off the directory listing of mods.d. So adding the option for mods.d.zip won't get you very far.
That's what I'm doing - downloading all the files in the mods.d directory to get a list of all available modules. Downloading one compressed file would be better than fetching each single file. It takes longer and you have to download more (say more MB/KB). It would also be better for the CrossWire Server to handle one request than over 300 for one repo (the main CrossWire one).
