This is easy to implement using a ... text format such as:
 bin/sh file /usr/obj/usr/src/bin/sh
 bin/sh uname root
 rescue/mkdir hardlink rescue/rescue
 bin/sh mode 0666
 bin/rcp mode 04666

Giorgos Keramidas responds:
A packaging list for one of the distributions I've built at work
includes stuff like:
    # Misc command-line tools in @prefix@/bin/...
    d none @prefix@/bin 0755 root bin
    f none @prefix@/bin/progname-2.0 0755 root bin
    s none @prefix@/bin/progname=progname-2.0

My concern is that "all of the bits for one file"
may not always be available at a single place in
the build.  Some programs use the "afterinstall"
hook to set flags on the installed binary,
for example.

My version allows different information about a file
to be output at different points in the build process.
A simple 'sort' then collects information about each
file together, making it easy to then build the
final archive.
