zsh-3.1.1 on NetBSD patch & problems

[gwing@primenet.com.au]

Heyla,
I've set up zsh to use modules on NetBSD
This is on NetBSD 1.2C .  Similar systems like OpenBSD and FreeBSD may
work with the same things.

A couple of things:

1) What's happened to default compctls?
% zsh-3.0.0 -f
% compctl
bindkey -b
builtin -c
export -v
setopt -o
typeset -v
unset -v
unsetopt -o
vared -v
which -c
COMMAND -c
DEFAULT -f
FIRST

% zsh-3.1.1 -f
% compctl
COMMAND -c
DEFAULT -f
FIRST


2) NetBSD make has lots of problems with the Makefile:
 2a) Zle/* stuff doesn't get built the first time you ``make'' in Src.
 2b) if you've made everything, then ``make'' without changing everything,
     everything is rebuilt.
 Of course, GNU make works fine.

3) why is -pedantic set for --enable-debug ?

4) How about `important' changes like
      * Src/options.c: set ALWAYSLASTPROMPT, APPENDHISTORY, AUTOLIST,
	AUTOMENU, AUTOPARAMKEYS, AUTOPARAMSLASH, AUTOREMOVESLASH,
	LISTAMBIGUOUS, LISTTYPES options by default
   going into Etc/NEWS

5) On NetBSD:
 ``ld -x -Bshareable -o foo.so foo..o''
seems to be doing the same thing as
 ``ar r foo.a foo..o bar..o
   ranlib foo.a
   ld -x -Bshareable -Bforcearchive -o foo.so foo.a''
which is the standard way NetBSD does shared libraries. 
The first form is compatible with the current zsh Makefile style.  The second
would require several changes.  Hopefully, the first form will always work 
like the second.

6) I had something else, but I can't think of it now, so here's the patch.
