Description
I always wanted MC to be able to work with pipe-filelist. For example, if we want to view all file from some package:
equery f wget | mc
Command equery in Gentoo prints on stdout list of files belonging to a package.
Another example. Let say we want tar current directory, but we need to skip several files:
find . | mc | tar cf /tmp/t.tar --files-from=-
We can just F8 unneeded files.
MC can detect if its standard input is from pipe or use "-" argument.

Maybe panelize code could be used for this instead VFS?
