I'm not sure if you've heard but with WoD Blizzard will be moving to a new, propriatory I think, file format and will be converting the mpq files to it.
Other than that , it looks cool.

Yup, I've been keeping my eyes on it - and it looks like the brilliant folks over at ownedcore have pretty much got it down. Until/unless Blizzard adds a listfile, an explorer type UI will require a community generated/updated one - but getting files by path/name apparently works.
I haven't had much time to actually test things out with the sample code they've put up there, but currently the test code for the MPQ part, acts as sort of a wrapper for StormLib - meaning neither what goes in, or what goes out, is dependent on the format itself. So whether it be a library, or just some code - all that needs to change is the interaction between the wrapper and what accesses the format, letting the other extensions work regardless.
So now the real fun begins
