I guess VCF is some file format?

We could add a new drop type that means "write data to file" and accept it 
in nautilus. Is this useful though? It would be quite slow as it would 
copy the file data over X.

Evo could also write the contents to a file in /tmp and expose it as a 
uri-list drop. That should work right now with nautilus, and be a lot 
faster for large files.
