Hi Ben, welcome to Slim-vim.  You won't be able to just take the ecl.h
out of the sources :)
Can you run ecl-config --cflags?  It ought to produce a directory that
./ecl/ecl.h will be in
When you compile vim, try with the command
CFLAGS=`ecl-config --cflags` ./configure --enable-eclinterp

Good luck!
