Python script to convert old resource archives into new Bundle format

[Ilya Portnov]

Hello.
It is possible, though script needs to be adapted to input it's 
parameters (bundle metainformation and so on) from some sort of config 
file. Currently it asks all that information from user via stdin.

WBR, Ilya Portnov.
