	/** \brief Returns a vector of usable Compression Types
	 *
	 *  Files can be compressed in various ways to decrease the size of the
	 *  download. Therefore the Acquiremethods support a few compression types
	 *  and some archives provide also a few different types. This option
	 *  group exists to give the user the choice to prefer one type over the
	 *  other (some compression types are very resource intensive - great if you
	 *  have a limited download, bad if you have a really lowpowered hardware.)
	 *
	 *  This method ensures that the defaults are set and checks at runtime
	 *  if the type can be used. E.g. the current default is to prefer bzip2
	 *  over lzma and gz - if the bzip2 binary is not available it has not much
	 *  sense in downloading the bz2 file, therefore we will not return bz2 as
	 *  a usable compression type. The availability is checked with the settings
	 *  in the Dir::Bin group.
	 *
	 *  \param Cached saves the result so we need to calculated it only once
	 *                this parameter should ony be used for testing purposes.
	 *
	 *  \return a vector of (all) Language Codes in the prefered usage order
