> We already have build tools for infocom against the Z-Machine

The TOPS-20 versions of ZILCH (and ZAP) don't seem to be available.

The ITS version of ZILCH from MIT has been recovered, but (from what I understand) it is an earlier version, and the TOPS-20 version which Infocom used later isn't publicly available, and that later version had added features.

In any case, its copyright status is murky, Microsoft could clean up that murkiness.
