Look at the function `dired-virtual` -- part of the virtual-dired mode
in dired-x.
The short version is you use dired to view a directory you're
interested in, then save that dired buffer to a file. You can then add
other dired listings to this file to build the collection you're
interested in. When you open the file the next time, use M-x
dired-virtual to put it in dired mode.
