Thanks for continuously updating your patch; and sorry for not getting
it in before 1.11.1/1.10.3.  Your patch requires some portability fixes
and some testing on several systems, and for the releases I decided to
play safe and worry more about not getting any regressions in testing
functionality than getting us to work well with another shell (which,
almost by definition, isn't the only one on the system; if it were, you
could likely invoke zsh as /bin/sh and it would work well with the
current code).

I will try to work on it soon though.

I've also omitted a number of other patches that introduced new
features; they are for master, not the release branches.

Thanks again,
Ralf
