          subclasses of this.
          @remarks
              All access to 'archives' (collections of files, compressed or
              just folders, maybe even remote) is managed via the abstract
              Archive class. Plugins are expected to provide the
              implementation for the actual codec itself, but because a
              subclass of Archive has to be created for every archive, a
              factory class is required to create the appropriate subclass.
          @par
              So archive plugins create a subclass of Archive AND a subclass
              of ArchiveFactory which creates instances of the Archive
              subclass. See the 'Zip' and 'FileSystem' plugins for examples.
              Each Archive and ArchiveFactory subclass pair deal with a
              single archive type (identified by a string).
