I had a similar requirement ("Just upload the darn thing.") and wrote
SimpleBatchUpload ([0]).
It uses a similar approach as MsUpload, but works from its own Special page
instead of the editor from.
It presents a simple page with an upload button. Just drag and drop files on
the button and be done.
