The related smarty replace rule is
http://help.x-cart.com/index.php?title=X-Cart:Smarty3_update_notes_for_stores_upgrading_to_ X-Cart_4.7.x#sectionname_varname

The control grep is

grep -r --color=auto "%[a-zA-Z0-9_]\+\.[a-zA-Z0-9_]\+%" skin 

Strange, i downloaded a complete 4.6.6. The header for that file says

04fde8f686ed0be7315b88835142e1a07fc30925, v28 (xcart_4_6_2), 2014-01-04 06:59:41, product_details.tpl, random

My backup from my 4.6.6 site says:

e841f87bddab1129da625909874d9f8b62b6f9ad, v22 (xcart_4_6_4), 2014-05-19 11:32:54, product_details.tpl, mixon

Mind you its been upgraded a few times, but something isnt right if the two files I have look nothing alike.

Hmmmm....

"Every X-Cart store based on version 4.7.0 and higher will get one year access to free upgrade packs within branch 4. After that the upgrade license fee is to be paid to get the upgrade packs.

All the stores based on versions 4.6.6 and earlier can download the upgrade packs free of charge at any time, but once you install a fresh store of version 4.7.x or upgrade your store to v 4.7.x, you automatically agree with the new license agreement."

I updated our test store to 4.7.1 and the upgrade went quite smooth!
Where can I enable & test PayPal in context checkout?

Are there any X-Cart modules that need to be updated from 4.6.6 in order to keep functioning correctly?

You read that right. Its the last free upgrade. I'm glad, as it is an unsustainable business model that is being retired. This ensures X-Cart 4.X viability into the future.

Built in modules would be upgraded automatically with the rest of the system. 3rd party modules are not.

Yes, are there any docs for this available?

If the store country is 'US', 'GB', 'FR', 'DE'

and if the currency is 'USD', 'EUR', 'GBP'

and if Express Checkout by PayPal is enabled, it will work in the In-Context checkout mode automatically.

Why only in US/GB/FR/DE?

There is no reason to exclude other European countries that use the Euro, such as The Netherlands in our case.
