Sorry, I've been a little MIA due to many other things taking up my
life/time.

As for updating zsh, I'll see about getting a new package rolled soon.
The releases of zsh post 5.5-1 have had their issues so I didn't feel
they were quite ready for Cygwin.  But 5.8 looks pretty good, so I'll
roll that up.

As to why you are having problems running configure on 32-bit, I can't
say as I don't use cygport to build it.  Also, I keep a somewhat older
version of Cygwin for building purposes so that zsh will run with older
versions too.

So, if all you desire is a newer release, give me a day or two and I'll
have get that uploaded.
