Is there anything I can do to help this get merged? |

It would be great to have a slightly more expressive description than "fix fetching from remote archives". Ideally, the commit message should say
|
Commit 854695a removed attempting to use nix-prefetch-zip on the downloaded artifact in favor of only nix-prefetch-url, which does not unpack automatically. With that, fetching from remote archives became broken as no handler would succeed. This adds an optional `command` argument to fetchWith, with which the command to use for fetching can be specified instead of it being derived from the kind. That `command` argument is then used by the reintroduced kind `zip` to call nix-prefetch-url (with the `--unpack` flag) instead of nix-prefetch-zip. In addition, a bug where `fetchWith` would return the path of the artifact instead of the output of the handler has been fixed.

Thank you, I amended the commit message with a detailed description of what the commit does. |

I have tested that this works and doesn‘t break the other fetchers. petis concerns seem to be addressed. |

Does what it says.
Ideally a bigger rearchitecting would have been done at the point the assumption that the kind implies the command broke down (with 854695a), but I think that's beyond me.
Processing repositories may take longer than before if there is a big file at the same URL, since that is downloaded twice before even trying to use a version control client.
I did not add a test because I'm not sure how to do that in a way such that it can be disabled in nixpkgs (to remain in the build sandbox).
Closes #377.
