Make sure that when you type a chained URI pointing inside an
archive, nautilus can display the contents properly, either directories
or individual files.

Moving to post-1.0, per Bud and Andy's request.

This never really worked well or was tested well...

Chained archive URI's do not work (for me, at least).  This bug has
regressed, and should be reopened.  Unfortunately, it looks like I
don't have the ability to do that.  :-(

Given, for example, a tar archive /var/tmp/archive.tar, Nautilus
doesn't like any of the following:

     /var/tmp/archive.tar#tar
     /var/tmp/archive.tar#tar/
     /var/tmp/archive.tar#tar:
     /var/tmp/archive.tar#tar:/
     file:/var/tmp/archive.tar#tar
     file:/var/tmp/archive.tar#tar/
     file:/var/tmp/archive.tar#tar:
     file:/var/tmp/archive.tar#tar:/

All eight yield a "Can't Display Location" dialog.  The first four
report "Couldn't find <location-I-tried-to-use>.  Please check the
spelling and try again."  The last four report "Nautilus has no
installed viewer capable of displaying <location-I-tried-to-use>."

zip and gzip give similar results.

I'm using:

    gnome-vfs-1.0.4-ximian.4
    nautilus-1.0.6-ximian.4
    Red Hat Linux 7.2 with Ximian GNOME

Sigh.  This stackable abstract filesystems thing could be *so* cool,
if only it worked.  :(
