Hmm. I'm using iTerm (didn't know iTerm2 existed; now _I_ have something to investigate). In my iTerm "bookmarks" (imagining iterm2 to be a similar model) I have a "cs" bookmark which is my default; it runs "zsh --login", i.e. a login shell.

Darwin's not very special - it is all UNIX. /usr/local/bin is a reasonable place for third party scripts. I infer from stuff earlier that you're already using MacPorts.

I will check this stuff out today. Great. I'll look at iTerm2 meanwhile; iterm has some annoying performance issues (CPU spins) with big windows and long histories, and I would welcome something saner (Terminal doesn't misbehave like that, but iTerm has a better feature set).
