I have now uploaded an updated UploadForm which will handle
multiple files dropped on the control. It includes the code for the
javascript to automatically create cloned input file controls.
It also can be used with a standard single file input form, which is
useful if one needs to be able to rename the upload file using an
additional input text box. Dropping or selecting multiple files will
not allow renaming them.

UploadForm will allow building forms of both kinds, by using different
tag names:
(:input file uploadfile:) for single file input, and
(:input dropfiles uploadfiles:) for multiple file input via
drag-and-drop in Firefox with the dragdropupload Firefox extension.
(:input dropfiles uploadfiles:) can also be used for single normal
file input.

See http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/UploadForm

Examples for forms of both kinds are on the page.

I also improved the message display for the uploads results.
It works for all cases, and for multiple file uploads as well.
