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