Hello automakers.
Since I'm rebasing some other patch series agains master, I took the
opportunity to do the same with this simpler patch, also amending it
to properly bump copyright years in the modified file. These are just
very minor changes over the previous patch.
Please let me now if you find this continuous tweaking and updating of
patches annoying.
Regards,
Stefano

Subject: [PATCH] Work around Zsh incompatibility w.r.t handling `$0' (testsuite related)
* tests/README (Supported shells): When describing the manual
workaround about the Zsh incompatibility w.r.t the handling of
the special variable `$0', tell that it is now needed only with
Zsh3.
* tests/defs.in: For Zsh4, work around the incompatibility in the
way Zsh deal with the special variable `$0' (the workaround uses
the Zsh special variable `$functrace').
For Zsh 3, abort the script if the option `FUNCTION_ARGZERO' is
on.
Also, updated copyright years.
