Description
Allow mounting compressed/tarred/ISOs/debs/rpms/etc. files in Nautilus like what Konqueror/Dolphin do with KIO slaves. It is consistent since this is related to file management and may eliminate the existing Drag n' Drop problems between nautilus and file-roller (as we could get rid of it).
Required modifications:
- Implement gvfs backends for the different file types
- Modify nautilus to mount the files as volumes
- Implement dialogs in nautilus for creating compressed/tarred files (with all the available options)

You cold even amplify the mimetype information in order to, when clicking , whether:
1- open an external application (as now; e.g. file-roller )
or
2- call an external application (the :// uri mounter) and redirect nautilus' current directory to the new uri)
This way, you will always be able to choose which mechanism you prefer, in the same way you choose which external program to use for each mimetype in the file preferences dialog.
