I use "setopt norcs" in my .zshenv and then specifically load the
files I want to load depending on whether the shell is a login shell,
interactive, etc.  You could also use "setopt noglobalrcs" which only
prevents loading the global (/etc/...) ones.  Note that without the
"-f" command-line option, you cannot prevent loading /etc/zshenv
(alternately /etc/zsh/zshenv on some systems).
