Oh, and this is supposed to be a valid alternative to eval? Is this a bad joke?
It's another option - you have direct eval access via the console as was explained in the OP.
Why is this only available as a zip?
I think it's the most logical file format. We're not going to supply it in bz2, tar.gz and .rar - I think most people can cope with a zip file.
I'm interested in how you're planning on keeping the control add-on loaded between gamemode changes.
Wait and see :)
