your script look very good. I'm all for it to include it in TSVN.
However, your script is in VBScript, I would prefer using JScript instead. 
Because VBScript is deprecated and will soon only be available as an 
optional Windows component:

As for a zip lib: we do have zlib linked in of course. But if we do support 
zip in TMerge, we also should support 7z/gzip/rar/..., otherwise users will 
keep requesting it ("you do support x, so please also do y").
