Thanks for your zsh packaging efforts!  I too am a very happy user.

I'm afraid I don't have anything tangible, but I do have a suggestion 
for something that would be useful for the Cygwin distribution of zsh:
Command line completion functions for Cygwin specific commands (e.g. 
cygpath, cygrunsrv, cygcheck, ...).
I don't have any (yet), and on first glance it seems to be too 
non-trivial to hack them together in a few minutes, but if you or 
someone else has already created those, I think they'd be a valuable 
addition.

Best regards,

  - Michael
