WHen I read that sentence, I had to think about Debian packages...
Ever considered using ar? This way you have one file, no need to craft
any really complicated file format, and your data can be manipulated
using standard tools!
Read man deb on a debian system for inspiration.
An rfc822 style control file could contain your metadata and just
reference the other files in the archive. Or you could use
XML if you are of the bloaty type :-)
