If that's the case a simple .bat file would be a easy way to customize zones that could be distributed legally just having it backup old textures to a folder and then having it copy, rename, and overwrite (replace) the previous textures with the ones you wanted to swap over.

It is going to be more complicated than a .bat file because of the way textures are actually stored. (I have been doing some texture modifications and I post as daffie/galelor on the SoD/P99 forums respectively.) I will even go so far as to say that the version of eq you have running effects how you modify the textures. As an example, SoD textures appear upright once extracted with eqspy while p99 and live seem to be inverted. There are also other differences. (I can't think of any other way to explain this unless the SoD guys extracted, modified, reintroduced all textures, and then rewrote the engine to use the textures in an upright position... I highly doubt this is the case...)
That said, the textures are fairly well organized by location/name. Depending on the texture sizing, it may be possible take background textures from one zone to use them in another zone.
