We could use something similar for what we did with the SuperKaramba .skz 
files. Basically it is a zip archive that contains a .xml file outlining what 
the contents of the archive has.  Here's an example of the maindata.xml file 
we use in our skz archives:

[kdesvn][iLaunch-0.16]$ cat maindata.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE superkaramba_theme>
<superkaramba_theme>
    <themefile>iLaunch.theme</themefile>
    <python_module>iLaunch.py</python_module>
    <name>iLaunch</name>
    <icon>iLaunch.png</icon>
    <description>Launches applications from a scrollable stack using your 
wheel mouse.</description>

</superkaramba_theme>

Of course adapting it to our needs for the different plasmoids being used and 
their configuration such as location, etc.
