#7834: Archive folder before attempting to transfer it

 Currently, when I try to transfer an entire folder to a friend, I'm
 getting the following error:
 {{{
 Pidgin cannot transfer a folder. You will need to send the files within
 individually.
 }}}

 I then need to manually package the folder, and *then* send it. This is
 probably too much to ask for in newbies, and as such pose a usability
 problem.

 Would it be possible to automate this process, i.e. give the user the
 option to send an archived version of the folder?
