Thank you!

It was beyond my concentration powers for the past 3 days :)
I will experiment with this 2.0 solution. (But it would be cool if someone
has already done similar things before in 1.0 and posts his result)

It's essentially a recursive grouping problem. (Yes, I have seen these
before!) In XSLT 2.0 you can solve it like this:

<xsl:template name="g">
  <xsl:param name="files" as="element(file)*"/>
  <xsl:param name="level" as="xs:integer"/>
  <xsl:for-each-group select="$files"
     group-adjacent="tokenize(@path, '/')[$level]">
   <folder name="current-grouping-key()">
     <xsl:call-template name="g">
       <xsl:with-param name="files" select="current-group() except ."/>
       <xsl:with-param name="level" select="$level + 1"/>
     </xsl:call-template>
   </folder>
  </xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:template>

I haven't tried to distinguish folders from files here, I leave that as an
exercise for the reader (perhaps best done in a second pass).

A 1.0 solution is beyond my concentration powers at this time on a Friday
evening.
