Zip files don't actually support folders; it's just that by convention
slashes ('/') are used in the names to represent the folder hierarchy,
eg. "a/b" is taken to mean file "b" in subfolder "a". I've found from
experience that you can represent an empty folder with an empty file
whose name ends with '/'.
