I should think this wouldn't be too difficult to do just with a little bash
or Python script, even...
I guess it would be a convenience for Pd to do it, but I could see it not
being too difficult to develop an external program to create "bundles" like
this.

As for the actual file format, what about just linking to something like
libtar and using already-available routines?  For instance, if pd is told to
run a file test.tar.gz, it would automatically load the file "test.pd"
inside that tar file, and then any abstractions would also assume to be
available within that tarball.  I guess this wouldn't work so well for
externals, however, since the OS couldn't load them from a tarball.
