3.1.9-dev-5

[Peter Stephenson <pws@xxxxxxx>]

I have uploaded 3.1.9-dev-5 as
  ftp://ftp.zsh.org/pub/development/zsh-3.1.9-dev-5.tar.gz
There are some more significant changes this time:
  cygwin now supports dynamic loading --- well, ish: it will probably
    take the next release of cygwin to get this sorted out.  You may
    want to use --disable-dynamic for now.
  the alias modules have gone:  there is no automatic connection between
    the module zle and the module zsh/zle.  This is now completely under
    user control: use
      zmodload -A zle=zsh/zle  ...
    to define aliases, and
      zmodload -R zle  ...
    to remove them.

Other changes include the usual range of completion improvements: caching
is now possible and configurable, $compcontext is more flexible, some
quoting fixes, improvements to completions for parameters, rpm, read
builtin; some fiddling to try and get the right length for path buffers;
fix for dynamically finding out the max number of open file descriptors;
and an option C_BASES which outputs hexadecimal as `0xFF' instead of
`16#FF' (and similarly for octal if you have OCTAL_ZEROES set).
