Hmm... there are a lot of possibility to separate files into
folders...
I typically would have lots of files with the same type...
In the mean time I have a path to separate the uploaded files into
subdirectories based on uuid_key's first X character:

I introduced the "uploadseparate" parameter which is either None --
default (backward compatible) or the number of characters of
uuid_key...
The directory is created automatically and this works with
uploadfolder too (uploadfolder/uploadseparate)...
I don't know the name "uploadseparate" is acceptable... or the
patch :) There could be a better way...
