	/** \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 the compression types in the prefered usage order

	/** \brief Returns a vector of Language Codes
	 *
	 *  Languages can be defined with their two or five chars long code.
	 *  This methods handles the various ways to set the prefered codes,
	 *  honors the environment and ensures that the codes are not listed twice.
	 *
	 *  The special word "environment" will be replaced with the long and the short
	 *  code of the local settings and it will be insured that this will not add
	 *  duplicates. So in an german local the setting "environment, de_DE, en, de"
	 *  will result in "de_DE, de, en".
	 *
	 *  Another special word is "none" which separates the prefered from all codes
	 *  in this setting. So setting and method can be used to get codes the user want
	 *  to see or to get all language codes APT (should) have Translations available.
	 *
	 *  \param All return all codes or only codes for languages we want to use
	 *  \param Cached saves the result so we need to calculated it only once
	 *                this parameter should ony be used for testing purposes.
	 *  \param Locale don't get the locale from the system but use this one instead
	 *                this parameter should ony be used for testing purposes.
	 *
	 *  \return a vector of (all) Language Codes in the prefered usage order
