Well, then let's give a try to Automake's approach, enhanced for zsh
then?

CDPATH=${ZSH_VERSION+.}:

i.e., without the trailing dot?

But I still want a shell adjustment section :)  You can't run
configure with zsh without `emulate sh' and some more.  And zsh's
debugging features are currently way superior to that of other
shells, it is not just to promote my favorite shell.
