Not trying to dump on your idea though. Hopefully the feedback is helpful in some way.

What you're saying here is exactly the reason why I'd want a program such as this. Putting a book in a folder structure like that makes it completely independent of operating system, device, *and* software.
Even if my original version would be lost, it would be trivial to write a program that runs through the folders and creates one big TXT file out of all the small parts. It would be easy to make it generate an (X)HTML, and quite doable to generate an EPUB.
("Easy" does not automatically mean "not a lot of work", especially for the EPUB part
)
Maybe it'd be best and start with a 0.1 version that merges text-files, post it here, en then go on to create one that makes an (X)HTML and so on.
The one thing I don't like about e-books at this point in time is that it forces me to use a complete application like Scrivener or one of it's competitors, to actually obtain an EPUB, by either writing directly into it, or importing files.
