unzip didn't work for me. after opening the file in a text editor, finding
and googling "debian-binary control.tar.gz", I found this
page<http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Debian-Binary-Package-Building-HOWTO/x60.html>which
is how I figured out to us ar.

here's what i did:
$ ar x com.palm.google.gvoice_1.0.0_all.ipk

That will extract three files:
debian-binary
control.tar.gz
data.tar.gz

Then run this:
$ tar zxvf data.tar.gz
