This is not true. "init.c" shows that each startup file from /etc is read only if the appropriate #define is set (GLOBAL_ZSHENV, GLOBAL_ZPROFILE etc), but none is set by default. On the other hand, the INSTALL file (if I got it right) says that one has to explicitely _disable_ processing of a scriptfile by adding the option --disable-scriptname to 'configure', which suggests that GLOBAL_scriptname is set by default. What is the intention? I'd prefer an implementation of the documented default behaviour.
