CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
=====================
+Modified versions of zsh
+------------------------
+
+If you are making local modifications to zsh, you are strongly
+advised to configure with the option
+
+ --enable-local-patchlevel="<my-mod-string>"
+
+so that the variable $ZSH_PATCHLEVEL indicates this is not a standard
+version of the shell. The argument is arbitrary, but should indicate
+the entity that is customizing the shell, for example the OS vendor
+or distributor.
+
Multibyte Character Support
