I respectfully suggest that the landscape of this discussion is
getting too cluttered.  Since arbitrarily many "repackaging"
philosophies and systems are possible, the specifics of this or that
particular system won't have a direct bearing on how a Gem can be
unpacked and reassembled.  I think it's more a matter of just having
Gems abstract their layout slightly (or make that possible), and then
having each repackaging person/team decide how they want to put the
Gem back together.

Or... maybe there could be an intermediate format, to which Gems could
be converted, that was sufficiently abstract to allow conversion to
other formats (a kind of hub-and-spoke approach).
