    A matrix of tables of real filenames and zip file names (the name the file will have inside the zip file)

                          The file list content should be as follows:
                      {
                         { filePath="c:\mydir\myfile.log", destArcPath = "myfile.log" },
                         { filePath="c:\mydir\myfile.log.1", destArcPath = "myfile1.log" },
                         { filePath="c:\mydir\myfile.log.2", destArcPath = "myfile2.log" },
                         { filePath="c:\another_dir\readme", destArcPath = "some_other_stuff\readme.txt" }
                      }
                      The examples shows who the first name (filePath) must be the real file name while the second
                      one (destArcPath) is the name the file will have once put into the zip file.
