zsh 4.0.8

zsh 4.0.8

[Peter Stephenson]

I'd like to make zsh 4.0.8, so if anything still really needs changing
it's time to say.

I'd like to make zsh 4.1.2 shortly too.  I don't see anybody rushing to
fix the long-standing terminfo problems, so I'll probably need to look
at that.  I'm not sure it needs to wait for that, though.

I've just made sure recent completion fixes are merged over. Should be
all set for 4.0.8.

I think it does need to wait. Or at least add this to terminfo.c:
  # ifndef ERR
  #  define ERR (-1)
  # endif

That solves the compile problems but is slightly crude.  That has actually
made it's way into 4.0 as part of 19258. I questioned that patch in
19262 though in part because it required 18626 to also be back ported
(which, I see, now has been).
