3.1.6-dev-16

[Peter Stephenson <pws@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have uploaded
  ftp://ftp.zsh.org/pub/zsh/development/zsh-3.1.6-dev-16.tar.gz

The major change this time is Sven's new wordcode system for storing shell
code internally.  This should substantially reduce the memory usage for
shell functions.  The major bugs seem to have been removed but there may
still be minor problems.

I have not added zpty since it probably needs more configuration work.
Suggestions for OSes not covered are of course welcome.

I have finally added zprof, which was on my disk but missing from
.distfiles.  The manual has been there all along.

	* pws: 9408: Src/pattern.c, Doc/Zsh/expn.yo: failed
	backreferences, such as (...)# matching zero times or (|(...))
	matching first part of branch now set match to null string and
	indices to -1 instead of crashing the shell.

	* Clint: 9405: Makefile.in: $(DESTDIR) missing in front of
	$(sitefndir).

	* Tanaka Akira: 9404: Completion/Core/_path_files: `%' missing in
	parameter expansion.

	list-based instead of function-based system for shell function
	wrappers.

	creates site-functions, parallel to /usr/share/zsh/3.1.6-dev-15
