Hi, Zsh folks,

Found a couple typos etc in the doco; here's a suggested fix.

- Spelling error in README
- Inconsistent "OS's" vs "OSes" in MACHINES
- Inconsistent "behavior" vs "behaviour" spelling
- Updated URL for Yodl project; it moved off SourceForge

Also, the LICENCE file still says "copyright (c) 1992-2009".

Cheers,
Andrew

This seems to have got wrapped badly.  Send it as an attachment if
necessary.

Actually, not sure it's wrapping, looking at it, but something funny
about whitespace is preventing it applying...

Here it is as an attachment. This file applies cleanly to the head of 
the zsh repo for me.

Formatting must have been messed up by my mail client (Thunderbird on OS 
X). Sorry for the inconvenience.

Cheers,
Andrew
