bundler -- better way to do bundles

[Fred T. Hamster]

first of all,
still need a new name,
as ruby uses the term bundles.

or bundler anyway.

but we need to make this just read and write xml.
no frills, just spew it, and output the files as base64?

actually, this will kill the efficiency, won't it?

i bet it would.

design point...
we should be able to deliver the files in either format and read them in either format,
so we can compare the binary vs. the text xml stuff.
would need as fast an xml parser as we could find or write... otherwise it would be unfair
right away.
