I'm sorry, but I dont see how the Zsh completion script relates to the
reStructuredText patches?

Also, shouldn't we remove the Zsh script now that it is included in Zsh
proper? I can see it's there with your handy Zsh CVS mirror:

I think this looks strange -- you propose we start putting magic strings
like that into the list of files to install? There has got to be a
better way :-)
