 This may be less of an issue now that we don't have the split CD set, but
 I would like it if rel-eng could produce a file into the master mirror
 tree for "groups" of files that should be a single consistent download
 set, such as a DVD and the checksum file, or the set of files that are
 together inside a single torrent.  MirrorManager is growing the idea of a
 "file group", a single requestable entity that will return a metalink
 listing each of the files in the file group.  The intent was to use it for
 the multi-CD download sets, but it's just as valuable for the DVD and
 checksum file, or other similar groups.  But it needs to be a file (say,
 .fileset or something), in a directory that MM can find and use to build
 the FileGroups.
