just to make it perfectly clear, from what I've read on the list, it really
needs to be MYCLASS.tar.gz - MYCLASS.tgz will not be recognized (even though
it's base.tgz, not base.tar.gz).

I believe it has been suggested that FAI should recognize both MYCLASS.tar.gz
and MYCLASS.tgz, but I'm not sure if (and in which version of FAI) that has
been implemented yet.
