I'm thinking of the case where foo.dat only appears in the MPD file
fooarchive.dat, such as would happen if someone replaced the whole P
directory with a single MPD file to save disk space, or if I
chose to distribute my unofficial Throwbot parts as a single MPD
to better maintain artistic control.
