Cool.  It's still pretty alpha, but we do what we can, as time
permits.

Anything is possible.  :)  Whether I have time to do it in the near
future is another matter.  I'll try to keep it in mind.

If you (or anyone else) develops such a patch or a script to generate
one, I can host it at theclapp.org.  (Maybe it's time to move to
common-lisp.net?)

I don't think we've altered any of the *.vim files.  We've added the
if_ecl.c file and a few other supporting files (if_ecl.lisp and
doc/if_ecl.txt come to mind).

The biggest (only?) other change is generic network support, mostly in
network_io.c (a new file) and in some other files that call stuff from
network_io.c.

Jim originally wanted to have separate vim+ecl and vim+async code, but
that didn't work out, so we have vim+async+ecl.
