} What this doesn't tell you is that you'll also need a port of ls, and

Check out http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/. I took a stab at building
3.0.5 using the Cygwin32 compatibility library, and had no serious problems.
The only difficulty is that gnu-win32 does NOT come with curses, termcap or
terminfo libraries, so you have to obtain and build one on your own before
compiling zsh. It does come with an /etc/termcap, but the entry in there
for the console apparently has some problems.
I vaguely recall that it used to be possible to build zsh without reference
to termcap by leaving out zle. That doesn't seem to be possible anymore;
termcap references have crept into several parts of the code.
Anyway, besides the above, there's also a collection of unix utilities for
NT called the NT Resource Kit, which I believe (not certain) you get from
Microsoft; and at least one other free or shareware set of tools that I've
seen, but I've forgotten the reference.
