Please let's NOT encourage admins to installed canned /etc/z* files. They
very seldom accomplish what the admin thought they would, and I don't want
to give anyone the impression that StartupFiles contains stuff that we
believe should appear in /etc/z* -- because it doesn't.

Yes; `rpm -ql zsh` says:
/bin/zsh
/etc/zlogin
/etc/zlogout
/etc/zprofile
/etc/zshenv

However, the /etc/z* files are NOT the ones from StartupFiles.
/etc/zshenv sets up X11HOME and $path; /etc/zshrc sets the umask and a few
aliases (like mv='nocorrect mv'), exports USER, LOGIN, HOSTNAME, and MAIL,
and runs bindkey -e; /etc/zlogin and /etc/zprofile are entirely comments,
and /etc/zlogout contains only "clear".
This is all zsh-3.0.5, of course; there's no "official" packaging of any
3.1 version. There's a contrib of 3.1.2-zefram4, but I've never installed
it anywhere.
