  This sounds like the \NeedsTeXFormat{FooBar} command that is already in
use in LaTeX.

  I can mention that a big Mac archive has so far refused to split up its
contents into two different 68k/RISC archives, because it is difficult to
maintain. Its contents is only classified according to topic.

  If all archived files are required to contain a \NeedsTeXFormat{FooBar},
perhaps a more advanced archive search can help the user to find what is
desired.
