Assuming this is your computer, you do something with /etc/z* which would
look for ~/.zsh and save you having to symlink ~/.zshenv

Personally I have all of my Zsh stuff in ~/Dropbox/etc/zsh/ and when I
setup a new system all I have to do is

ln -s Dropbox/etc/zsh/zshenv.sh .zshenv

ln -s Dropbox/etc/zsh/zshrc.sh .zshrc

hardly seems onerous.
