Pardon me for my ignorance, but is gzipped at all like pkzipped?
I'd go for MPD distribution, but that would require a two-step distribution:
un-compress the file, then mpdsplit it. And unless there was a 'delete MPD
archive' included as a final step, the installation footprint would be twice as
big as necessary.
