3.1.6-dev-17

[Peter Stephenson <pws@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've uploaded
  ftp://ftp.zsh.org/pub/development/zsh-3.1.6-dev-17.tar.gz
Sorry about the delay, I've been quite busy.

This includes Bart's oldish suggestion to prevent zsh sending itself
SIGHUP, as just reposted.

It still does not include zpty.  I suspect I will simply have to add that
and rely on problems being reported, otherwise it will never appear at all.
It might in any case be convenient to have a mechanism for specifying
modules that are not to be compiled or installed --- doing it that way
round prevents the ignorant from leaving out important modules.  This would
protect us against uncompilable minor modules because we could say in
Etc/MACHINES that you should use --ignore-modules=zpty on a particular
architecture.  Other opinions?
