The idea was to let the resource create the collections for its folders and 
then map them to folders in the migrator.

We could probably create the collections in the migrator using the cached 
folder structure, applying the same "hidden session" trick we use for cache 
items.

Maybe with a fallback to resource provided collection in case the local tree 
is not available.

I'll try to find time to look into this.

Cheers,
Kevin
