NautilusColumnProvider is an interface that the extension has to
implement in order to add new columns. This means that in your extension
you create a NautilusColumnProvider subclass, create some new columns
with nautilus_column_new () and export them by implementing the
nautilus_column_provider_get_columns () method in your custom subclass.

By googling a bit I found this [1]. Anyway, you can look at any
extension for an example of how providers usually work, as the above
mechanism is the same for any provider.
