It looks like the Vim7+ECL tree may not be synced up properly with the
mainline Vim tree.  I just pulled from both into pristine directories.
 I personally deleted the *.pro files and regenerated them - Vim has a
Makefile entry for that, but you need cproto in order to generate the
files.
I don't know what the right answer is here - regenerating worked for me.

Larry - any thoughts about why our proto files are busted?
