Adding 7zip Support

7zip support is not enabled by default in Ubuntu 6.10. But Nautilus does identify the file as compressed and to be used with the Archive Manager.

It even does this when the p7zip package is installed.

The Ubuntu Wiki was searched and no information was found, other than p7zip will be packaged with the next release. But a thread on the Ubuntu Forums lead to a link that had this to say:

Install p7zip-full and your problem will be solved :-)

file-roller doesn't like p7zip for some reason.
