I wonder if there's something that could be done with the concepA ts of
the Tar and Zip builders.  Yes, they have a command to call that if
given a "create" option wipes out any previous file which makes it a
little easier but it feels like the idea applies, including the use of
the builder "multi" argument that lets you call the builder more than
once to add to the "target".
