[PATCH] zsh pidof completion

[Marko Myllynen <myllynen@redhat.com>]

Hi,

Below is zsh completions for the pidof(1) command tested with:

pidof from procps-ng 3.3.10

It would seem that pidof is Linux specific but if it's available for
other platforms then we could of course move it under Unix/Command (and
since ps(1) is horribly platform specific we'd need handle different
ps(1) variants then).

Otherwise it works nicely but I'm a bit wondering one thing here: -o
can either repeated on the command line of the PID to be omitted can be
provided as a comma-separated list but I don't see a readily available
method to complete a comma-separated list. No biggie, but if there's
trivial way to do that, please let me know.

It might also be nice to provide a generic _procnames type completion
like there's one now for _pids but I'll leave it for a separate effort
now.
