Hi Torsten,
great test and analysis. So many questions. Around 15 tickets may be 
good for all this....

May I give opinions on some points:

I think, it is common to have a line like this.
If, by chance, it is already loaded by other means, then you have it for 
sure. It might be like msgcat, what is always loaded by tk.
If tclsh loads it by default, this may be mentioned. Nevertheless, 
embeded interpeters may not do so. Also, save interpreters may not.
More questions than answers, sorry.

For 9.0, I would love to see "::" in front of "tcl":

package require ::tcl::zipfs ?2.0?

I hope, others will comment on all points.
