As a follow on to the original post, if you have a directory (as described) containing the desired OCF components (mimetype, META-INF, OEBPS, etc.), you can use the following command-line zip commands to generate "target.epub":

Code:
zip -v0X target mimetype
zip -vr target * -x target.zip mimetype
mv target.zip target.epub

Thanks for the code! Much easier than using WinZip.

This does work on Mac OS X; for those of us who are not command-line experts, you do have to be inside the "target" directory for it to work as written.
