game-data-packager make-template --base=jazz-jackrabbit setup_jazz_jackrabbit_collection_2.0_csv2_(51327).exe

should provide a reasonable starting point: it will try to guess how
the contents of the installer should be installed, and how they intersect
with the groups of files in the existing data/jazz-jackrabbit.yaml.

The output will need some adjustment, because make-template can't know
anything about a particular game's semantics. If some of the binary blobs
have changed, I would guess that you'll probably want to represent them as
"use foo.bar?2.0 if available, or foo.bar?1.2, or foo.bar?1.0" similar to
how data/doom.yaml works.

Or you might want to represent different versions as different packages,
similar to the way that in data/larry.yaml, larry1-en-data is marked as a
"better_version" of larry1-ega-data.
