thunar-archive-plugin (in SVN) now supports adding new archive managers
via .desktop files and .tap wrapper scripts. For xarchiver to support
Thunar, xarchiver will need to install a new file xarchiver.tap to
$(libexecdir)/thunar-archive-plugin/. See the existing wrappers in
thunar-archive-plugin/scripts/.
