    There is not any zsh-internal way to test whether a directory is
empty, you must use 'find' or the small shell function that Bart had
the kindness to give me when I needed the same as you.

    Look in the mailing list archives. I currently don't have that
function since the project I needed it for is 'sleeping'. IIRC, that
function didn't need any external program.
