UExtract universal extractor

I posted yesterday about Jake's PackIt:

• HTML-NOTEPAD and PackIt — November 03, 2024

Jake has also created UExtract, an archive extractor, well, a tool to unpack just about anything:

Right-click on a file, and UExtract is offered in the menu. Version 4.14 will be in the next release of Easy Scarthgap and Daedalus.

I modified the PET package somewhat, as UExtract PET as-is does not work properly in EasyOS. One problem is that Easy has /usr/bin/build-rox-sendto that manages mime-handling for ROX and other apps, and this runs automatically when packages are installed or removed. Also changed a few other things that were not relevant for Easy. PET not yet uploaded.

Have done some work on how 'build-rox-sendto' is called, as it is a bit slow; now it will be run as a separate process.
