Right click menu items are handled via the Nautilus extension 
interface.  If you want a simple example extension look here:

http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-control-center/vfs-methods/fontilus/fontilus-context-menu.c?view=markup

This is compiled into a shared library and installed into the Nautilus 
extensions directory.  Every time you right click on a file (or files), 
Nautilus queries all the extension objects implementing the 
NautilusMenuProvider interface to see if they want to add some entries.
