Nah, why go through all that work? -- just embed the directory name into the
zipfile. I'm a bit rusty on pkzip (I use tar these days) but essentially:
pkzip xxxxz-yy.zip sets\xxxxz-yy\*.*
which is analagous to
tar -cvf xxxxz-yy.tar sets/xxxxz-yy
gzip xxxxz-yy.tar

No, they might not...so that's why it might be good to add it automatically
instead, presuming that they've agreed to place it under OPL.

Probably doesn't really matter where it goes -- just so long as it appears
somewhere in each file, right? Somewhere near the top is most traditional.
Under the other headers is probably fine?

I don't it's overdoing it, but that's just me. Heck, I'm planning for
there to be at least a couple hundred pages for subthemes on the LUGNET
when the sets DB is reshuffled around. Initially there will only be
newsgroups in the lugnet.lego.* hierarchy for the "product programmes"
(i.e. DUPLO, PRIMO, LEGO SYSTEM, TECHNIC, etc.) and "systems" (i.e. Space,
Castle, Wild West, etc.), but there's always plenty of room for non-ng-based
"theme" sub-pages (i.e. Tech Play, Blacktron, Forestmen, DUPLO Zoo, etc.).
Someday might even be ng's for some of the themes, depending on interest.
