config.h and dependency on module zsh/main

config.h and dependency on module zsh/main

[Andrej Borsenkow]

config.h is included from Src/zsh.mdh. Unfortunately, if modules sets
"nozshdep", Src/zsh.mdh is not included. But even in this case we may need
some configuration information? Or do I miss something?

I'm not clear what `nozshdep' actually means.  Currently it's used only in
the main zsh module to avoid circular dependencies.  It's hard to conceive
of a real module that *doesn't* depend on the main executable.  It would
have to be some standalone thing (in which case config.h would not be
relevant).  Or maybe I've missed the point too.

That's all it's intended for.

Something like that.  Basically, if you want to use nozshdep in a module
other than zsh/main, you'd better know what you're doing.  Knowing what
you're doing includes #including config.h if you actually need it.
