Not sure if a unified library like this exist or if the algorithms are even open-sourced. I Need to be able to decompress as many types as possible without having to install any other applications.

7zip has all its required functions to handle archives in a separate library and it can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/
