I think any thick client is going to have the same problems we are
trying to avoid with webdav.  I think we'd be better served by having
a flash or html5 type drag and drop component in CLE that would let
people do bulk uploads in an easy way, but avoids having to rely on
any client specific tool outside of the browser.
