This sounds like a very cool patch, but I wonder about the need to create
a new extension. It seems more logical (to me) to name the files like
".abw.gz", similarly to how Gimp names its native files (".xcf" if normal,
".xcf.gz" if compressed). I haven't visited the file open/close dialogs
and related guts recently, but I think our suffix handling would break on
my example case (usually we just start on the end of the string and walk
back until we see a '.').
