The safety issue isn't a big concern of mine, but PRACTICAL security 
will certainly be and that has nothing to do with zend compilation.  I 
have a few questions on that once I have the basic operation and 
customization figured out.  Far now, I hope that the "safety issue" 
will not block the initiated process of publishing all the source code. 
  IMO, sometimes you need to shoot yourself in the foot to create a 
learning opportunity. :D

It might be interesting for reference but on a unix system a quick and 
dirty - egrep -lr '<?php @Zend;' topLevelCCSfolder - will give you a 
list of 172 compiled files.  Thanks all and enjoy what's left of your 
weekend,
