(no urgency here)

When we create ZIP downloads, we put everything into the ZIP root folder. The result is that when doing a default unzip on a Unix box, you get N files added to the folder from which you issued the unzip command. I have learned to create a new folder and then do the unzip into that folder.

To make things more idiot-proof, I think it would be better to create the ZIP such that we add a folder and put all selected files into that folder. If people agree with that (which isn't guaranteed!) then what name for the folder? We do prompt the user for the name of the ZIP file. Perhaps use that same name for the folder name?
