After taking a closer look in zhspacing.sty I think it's better to  
include
the code in your t-zhspacing module and to replace a lot of macros with
their ConTeXT equivalent (e.g. \@for...\do.. with \processcommalist).

The content from unicode-letters.tex should also be moved to a separate
file (e.g. t-zhspacing-unicode.tex) which can be removed when the  
information
is added to char-def.lua.
