Hi there.
I'd like to use zshrc other then default, when zsh starts as mc's subshell.
I've just got an idea, that i could use MC_SID env var inside my .zshrc.
But anyway, that was too late. I've made small patch to allow users to create
~/.mc/zsh dir which could contain rc-files zsh uses at startup/shutdown.
PS I also edited mc(1) to mention this feature, and remove tcshrc which is not
really supported.
