Well, I know basically nothing about the M2Win format, but I wouldn't  
think adding support for a simple folder bundle would be that  
difficult--just read the individual image and text files, and consult  
the MML file for which ones go where.  (though I can appreciate the  
tedium involved in adding support for more formats, in general)

That would also solve your problem of editors, as you'd just need  
your favourite graphics program and text editor, then drop the  
resulting files in a folder.
