Does anyone know if/how I can use this folder for a couple of alternative English dictionaries - what the naming system is and how to activate it?

You can add a couple of extra English dictionaries by naming them dicthtml.zip and dicthtml-en-en.zip and putting them both in the custom-dict directory. They will be added to your dictionary drop-down menu with 'Custom' at the end of the label.
Alternatively, if you have more than 2, you can give them a more descriptive name, e.g. I have one named dicthtml-Web1913.zip because it's the Webster 1913 dictionary. It appears at the bottom of the dictionary drop-down menu labelled the same as the filename, i.e. 'dicthtml-Web1913.zip'.
As @Tommalka said, custom dictionaries should always be put in the custom-dict directory.
