Reading the docs, I think that jidgo will allow the user to download
(say) a .iso and a .img (NAND) file by downloading the files that are
contained in them and then re-assembling the .iso and .img files?  In
this case it's something we/anyone can implement, though I'm not sure
it's going to serve a large portion of the target audience (I imagine
they'll want only one of the options).
