Homebrew-cask: [Sierra] Installing apps distributed as zip does not work

[roderik]

I know it's beta1, and i know it's not supported, but i would however like to report it, seeing if someone might know a solution for the early adopters :)

Uh oh, could not figure out how to unpack '/Users/roderik/Library/Caches/Homebrew/keepingyouawake-1.4.0.zip'
Uh oh, could not figure out how to unpack '/Users/roderik/Library/Caches/Homebrew/atom-1.8.0.zip'

Error: Uh oh, could not figure out how to unpack '/Library/Caches/Homebrew/alcatraz-1.1.18.tar.gz'

@zsprackett Thanks for the pointer!
In the meantime, PR #22002 has emerged; it covers various cases, including the one handled in your Gist.
