Da hat heute Morgen doch Stig gesagt, dass das noch etwas dauert und
dann eine kommerzielle Angelegenheit ist. Die Firma heisst: Zend
Technologies Ltd.

No.  There will be an extension to Zend that does this, but it is not
available yet.  I believe this Zend extension will be commercial though.

Same answer as above: the optimizer is not available yet, and will
probably be commercial.

Please send further questions about these Zend extensions to
zend_(at)_zend.com, as they are the only ones who can give you real answers.
