    Build a set of files/directories, as described by the
    file_defs dictionary.

    Each key/value pair in the dictionary is interpreted as
    a filename/contents
    pair. If the contents value is a dictionary, a directory
    is created, and the
    dictionary interpreted as the files within it, recursively.

    For example:

    {"README.txt": "A README file",

        "__init__.py": "",
        "bar": {
            "__init__.py": "",
