I was thinking about this for a few days and there's a way to implement
'bundles' without massively duplicating data: Parse the metadata, and
see if any of the listed keys are available in the local store.  If so,
return them along with the requested data.  For each hop on the
return trip, add to it.   Using appropriate size/count limits would 
implement prefetch without 'hiding' CHKs inside zip files.

Similar to browser prefetch hints, but done at the FNP level.

Also nicely obscures the size of the requested data, because some
random amount of 'extra' data is being returned as well.

(Possibly strip off the individual file padding then pad the bundle
out?)
