I'd say the user just mustn't do that then ;-). The user can also
accidentally move some binary craft into .zshrc which would probably
cause it to go berserk and eat his mail ;-). I agree that it would be
nice to detect such screwups and _ask_ the user if the default
configuration shall be installed over the binary cruft the shell found.
But a missing .zshrc is a very valid configuration for me, so that
wouldn't apply here.
