Java and JavaScript are two different things, but I would argue that you
don't want to have to make a user _require_ either of them.  Plus Netscape
JavaScript is different than IE JavaScript and that leads to a lot of
problems.

As for a uploading zip files, I'm really not too keen on that
either.  What I've been doing is just tar'ing up my photos, transferring
them over to the server and just copying them into the album directories,
and it works pretty well for the most part.
