Bundle activity

[Erik Garrison]

"Bundles" are files.  In this case they are compressed files.  I'm just
pointing out that if we're going to work with files of this kind we
should think about working with files of the non-compressed kind.

The overlap between the Bundle tool and a tool to allow the same
operations on uncompressed files is pretty large.  Note that bundle
management is usually dealt with in other desktop environments through
the file browser.
