+crater's zsh config
+===================
+
+Installation:
+-------------
+
+*system-wide config*: Put repository contents in `/etc/zsh`.
+
+*user config*: copy `env_template` to $HOME/.zshenv. Change value of `$ZDOTDIR` in
+that file to the path, where the repository resides.  
+Note that this file is read before any other config files, so if any variables
+you set in there have wrong values, they are probably overwritten in another
+file.
+
+modules:
+--------
+
+This zsh configuration is modular. A module consists of a folder in the modules/
+directory, containing a script file named `init` and an optional `depend` file.
+More files may be included in the folder, they will be ignored by the module
+loader. The name of the module is the name of its directory.
+
+The `init` file is executed, when a module is loaded. When and if a module is
+loaded is determined by its `depend` file and the environment variables
+`$ZMODLOAD_ONLY` and `$ZMODLOAD_BLACKLIST`.
+
+`$ZMODLOAD_BLACKLIST` is a list of modules, that will not be loaded.
+
+`$ZMODLOAD_ONLY` works as a whitelist. If it is set, only modules in this list
+and modules required by them will be loaded.
+
+A `depend` file contains the requirements for loading a module. It should
+contain lines of the form `<type> <module>`. There are 3 types for
+dependencies:
+
+	- `depend <module>`: `<module>` will be loaded before the depending
+	  module (the module whose `depend` file contains this rule), regardless
+	of `$ZMODLOAD_ONLY`. If the module is blacklisted, it and the depending
+	module are not loaded. Note that already queued dependencies of the depending
+	module will be loaded anyways.
+
+	- `after <module>`: `<module>` will be loaded before the depending
+	  module, if it would be loaded anyways. If it is either blacklisted or
+	`$ZMODLOAD_ONLY` is non-empty but does not contain `<module>`, it is not
+	loaded. This does not affect loading of the depending module.
+
+	- `block <module>`: abort loading of the depending module, if `<module>`
+	  is already loaded or contained in `$ZMODLOAD_ONLY`.
