Writing a gnome-vfs module foo is enough to get support for foo in
Nautilus. The only subtlety is that if some functions aren't available,
Nautilus won't be able to use the module (I think it needs open_dir,
read_dir, close_dir, probably get_info, and I'd say it also needs
is_local and/or check_same_fs)
