Hello lispers,

First of all, thanks a lot for the slim-vim effort! I've discovered lisp 
relatively recently and decent vim support was quite a barrier for me.

A couple of issues related to building vim:

- had to chmod +x the following files:
/configure
/src/mkinstalldirs
/src/configure
/src/auto/configure

- export LC_ALL=C (changing only LC_NUMERIC  didn't work for me)

Another thing is that "ecl-config --libs" seems to output /usr/local/lib/ecl 
despite having been configured (and installed 
in) --prefix=/usr/local/ecl-0.9i, ie,

$ /usr/local/ecl-0.9i/bin/ecl-config --libs
-Wl,--rpath,/usr/local/lib/ecl -L/usr/local/lib/ecl -lecl    -ldl  -lm

This is ecl's bug but it affects the built process. vim's configure/make 
silently ignore their failure to find ecl's libraries and build vim without 
ecl even when configured with --enable-eclinterp.

It took me several builds to track the problem, hopefully reporting this will 
save other people's time (until it's fixed in the makefile and/or 
ecl-config).

Being able to evaluate forms from vim is awesome! I'm kind of puzzled though 
with the output on syntax errors in the buffer window. Is this feature 
work-in-progress or am I supposed to be able to make something out of it?

Thanks a lot and keep up the great work ;)
