For example:
      * the ability to get info from files such as name, size, mdate,
        content type[*] (bye-bye custom copy of xdgmime)
      * the ability to manage external drives and volumes (welcome
        searches in my backup DVD discs)


[*] from GIO api refs: "A content type is a platform specific string
that defines the type of a file. On unix it is a mime type, on win32 it
is an extension string like ".doc", ".txt" or a percieved string like
"audio". Such strings can be looked up in the registry at
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT."
