I am looking for one that will zero free space or set it to a constant
so that image backup will compress optimally. Ideally it would also
zero out file tails (aka cluster tips), and unused directory entries.

I wrote the Ace people asking them to extend their product to do the
sort of wipe I wanted. They wrote back pointing out there is already
a way in the options to configure a single pass, 0-wipe, or any other
pattern.
