You'll want to look at WP_Filesystem. You'll find much of what you need in
wp-admin/includes/file.php, including the WP_Filesystem function,
request_filesystem_credentials(), unzip_file(), and download_url().

You'll also want to look at the WP_Upgrader class (and friends) and the
various WP_Filesystem_* classes. These can be found in wp-admin/includes.
