I can see how it might be difficult.  However, it seems worthwhile.
Perhaps it can be done without requiring a solution to the two major
modes problem -- by reusing tar-mode functions.

Also, if this is impractical, then why buttonize the file names in the
first place?  I couldn't figure out what these buttons were supposed to
do; clicking on them just gives an error.
