A lot of work has been done - including support for EPP. But ...

Apparently not well enough, or you might have found the Zip page at

There, you'd certainly have seen the link to Dave Campbell's "curtin" driver - which addresses many of the concerns you express.
Of course, you could also have written to the author of the driver, who might just have taken a few minutes to explain some of the issues to you.
