Similar could be done with SVG: http://code.google.com/p/svgmin/
I will check out svgmin. However, there must be a version available for Windows, Linux and OSX or it must be available for build. Otherwise I will not use it. The same applies for jpegoptim, although for that one I also will have to check the additional advantage.

When I was digging for shrinking tools for Hitch I also searched for minification tools which could be applied to the epub's CSS and sources, but found only *. js stuff for use with webservers. Have no idea how to utilise it. Minification could be worth being looked up too.
No, I do not use Zopfli. I know it compresses even more, but the speed is ridiculous compared to the saved space. I just use the highest compression level. BTW, Sigil uses the same compression. I will check about minification, but I don't expect much from it.

Yes, I have created the tools for font subsetting myself and it is using intelligent algorithms to check the actual glyph usage. I can stand that I haven't solved the OTF issue so far... For the imaging I am using standard applications which are available and the standard zip-routines (although not a standard zip-library).
