Also, zipping a directory tree sometimes does funny things to the
filenames. For names <=8 characters, I observed, it makes the name
upcase. This, at the moment of compiling a .NET app, is very annoying.

you must ensure similar name lookup semantics on the web server, i.e. your
web server must treat DLL names as case-insensitive. Which effectively means
it must be running off VFAT filesystem or use some tricky aliasing/regexp
filters for DLLs.
