Well, I tried it, and it had its portion of falls (probably the
infamous LC_ is non-standard bug), but a weekend is coming...

I can certainly make the patch, but keeping it up-to-date to changes
is a different think. I thought it could be easily done ïn the scripts
you have for making tarballs, but I may have been wrong.

Well, that would be visible from the patch.

As for the vim files, I have some objections about their present state
(my nuisance #1 being probably formatting of comments, and in
particular (documentation) strings with parenthesis inside), so I
thought you may change them in the process too. But I should probably
better address it to the proper vim files maintainers. (OTOH, I
suppose most vim+CL users will probably drift here soon, so it may be
a better place for discussions).
