You can copy zfinit somewhere earlier in your FPATH, which you might
need to set explicitly in your script (fpath doesn't work in ksh mode).

You don't need compctl.  I think the problem is simply that it's not
autoloaded (as a builtin from a library) in ksh mode.  This a rather
different issue and compctl is thouroughly out of date anyway; I probably
need to check if compctl is present.  This should be harmless, in fact.
