//  Append a directory tree.  The call to AppendFiles does
//  not read the file contents or append them to the zip
//  object in memory.  It simply appends references
//  to the files so that when WriteZip or WriteZipAndClose 
//  is called, the referenced files are streamed and compressed
//  into the .zip output file.
