Matt Hamilton 4ac66646c4 [completion] add ${zcompdump_file} option 
This commit assumes that the user-provided variable for the filename
will start with '.zcomp'. This is used in the .zlogin for zcompiling the
completion file. Sourcing the .zimrc file within the .zlogin file is
something I'd rather not do, and this seems like a good compromise. If
this becomes an issue, the file can be sourced an the var can be used
instead.

Closes #42

Installation

Installing Zim is easy. If you have a different shell framework installed (like oh-my-zsh or prezto), uninstall those first to prevent conflicts. Arch users can install zsh-zim-git from the AUR. It can be installed manually by following the instructions below:

  1. In a Zsh shell, clone the repository:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Eriner/zim.git ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim
  1. Paste this into your terminal to prepend the initialization templates to your configs:
setopt EXTENDED_GLOB
for template_file ( ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim/templates/* ); do
  user_file="${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.${template_file:t}"
  touch ${user_file}
  ( print -n "$(<${template_file})\n$(<${user_file})" >! ${user_file} ) 2>/dev/null
done
  1. Set Zsh as the default shell:
chsh -s =zsh
  1. Open a new terminal and finish optimization (this is only needed once, hereafter it will happen upon desktop/tty login):
source ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zlogin
  1. You're done! Enjoy your Zsh IMproved! Take some time to read about the available modules and tweak your .zshrc file.
