Zipping them would probably not be a problem (BTW, does jar do the zipping
job or would it require a "real" zil under Unix (Linux)?)

But how do I import it? Using the database import? I imported previously
exported .zip files but never imported a sheer .zip file without a 
manifest.xml file.

Or what do you mean by "upload them as a zip file that gets automatically
unpacked?"

Ah, you mean, using the upload applet anyway but upload the .zip.
Never did that.
