I got a command line extractor, from a Blizz forum link that basicly scans the MPQ file that contains the Interface files, and extracts everything with a .lua, .xml, and .toc and properly places them into the folder hierarch. Cause someone on the forum said that the files given by blizzard off the support site didn't match the files in the MPQ files. He linked to a DIFF website that compared the files line by line, and somewhere was a kit that had the extractor.

But I know what kinda binary compression they are using for the addon files now at the least. Its BSDIFF patching / compression. Its mostly used on Linux and doesn't seem to have a whole lot of support on windows. Hopefully someone can find out how to decompress the files. Google wasn't being too helpful to me.
