  Does it have any support for creating a (possibly encrypted) package
from all the resources so that you don't have to distribute a bare version
of your resources directory structure, but instead you can simply distribute
this single package file with your program?

  (There are many reasons why one would want to do this, but the main
reason is that packaging (and encrypting) all the resources is a simple
"anti-spoiler measure": A curious user navigating the directory structure
of the game won't be able to spoil himself about the contents of the game
by simply double-clicking on the files.)
