FWIW, I wouldn't call the magic string 'PACK' PACK_TOC.  TOC here
meant "table of contents".  The magic string '-1tOc' for PACK_TOC
is no accident, its trying to show that this file is a table of
contents file.

I think at the time I meant for PACK_TOC to be the pack-*.idx
header magic string, and PACK_SIG or PACK_HDR to be the magic
string for pack-*.pack.
