Just create symbolic links:

cd $ZDOTDIR
for dotfile in zshenv zshrc zprofile zlogin; ln -s $dotfile .$dotfile

If for some reason you don't want to use symlinks, you can instead do

cd $ZDOTDIR
for dotfile in zshenv zshrc zprofile zlogin
  print "source \$ZDOTDIR/$dotfile" > .$dotfile

but that will print errors about missing files if you don't create all
four of the dot-less ones, which the symlink approach will not.
