Well, for everything we add we also have to add a handler in texdoc.
tex could be added and the handler for txt used, but html is already
there, but it's separate to make sure it is always at the end.
For zip/Z we'd need new code in texdoc, and probably a new depends, and
at least in tetex-doc there are no zip'ed files.
