Done. If you want to set up the new completion system, follow these
instructions:

cd /usr/local/share/zsh/3.1.9-dev-7/functions
. ./compinstall

and follow the prompts. If this is too confusing, you can copy the bit
bounded by "# The following lines were added by compinstall" and "#
End of lines added by compinstall" from /usr/local/skel/.zshrc  You may
also want to add "eval `dircolors`" (without the " quotes) to your .zshrc

The new completion system no longer requires you to put lots of arcane
compctl lines in your .zshrc; all the work is done by functions in
/usr/local/share/zsh/3.1.9-dev-7/functions.
