Comic Book Format support

[Paul Coates <Paul Coates ncl ac uk>]

Hi guys,

It's been suggested I bring this up on the mailing list for discussion,
so here goes. I have added a patch to bugzilla [1] to add support for
CBR and CBZ files to evince. These are formats used by Comical [2] and
other comic book readers to store comic books but can be used to store
other image based documents. CBR is basically a rar file containing
image files and CBZ is the same but using zip. I've made a screenshot
[3] showing the patch in use.

Is this sort of thing wanted in evince?

Paul
