On Mac OS X, there is the concept of a "bundle". They are actually
implemented as directories w/ a suffix. The bundle is treated as a
unit. The application (Xcode, for example) is given the path to
the bundle, and it finds therein all the files it needs. Normal
file browsing tools can be used to browse into the bundle, if
desired.

Seems to me it would be pretty simple to define a "bundle" format
for schematics as well.
