and while I'm at it, I only found out about this the other week
(I think Conrad and Erik were there when I first saw this):

    19:55(0) ~src/SDL_ttf-2.0.3% ./configure --with<Tab><Tab>
    completing option
    --with-freetype-exec-prefix      --without-freetype-exec-prefix 
    --with-freetype-prefix           --without-freetype-prefix      
    --with-gnu-ld                    --without-gnu-ld               
    --with-sdl-exec-prefix           --without-sdl-exec-prefix      
    --with-sdl-prefix                --without-sdl-prefix           

zsh now parses GNU configure output and dumps it all in a big
completion list for you.  Of course, this is just one of those
'cool' things and is completely useless, right?  Wrong --
remember that you can:

    1. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the completion
       options, making completion orders of magnitudes more
       efficient than just using <Tab>, and

    2. Use the <M-CR> trick I described in the last email to
       select multiple options at once.

It's another one of those things I take for granted now.
