Seems like it's not needed. zsh comes with tons of functions
predefined for the new completion system ;)
Have you tried to put
autoload -U compinit
compinit
in your .zshrc and then type something like
ssh tk<TAB>u<TAB>
and see how it is expanded to something like
ssh tkoehler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
or something?
There's quite a lot of stuff there in zsh-4.0.x :-)
Ciao,
