I got the CVS-version of ECL.

I got here, then the ran into problems. The first complaint was about
ecl.h not found. I told configure where to find them

CFLAGS=-I/path/to/ecl-sources/src/h

Then next compiler error was:

if_ecl.c:160: error: 'union cl_lispunion' has no member named 'string'

Looks like string is member of cl_lispunion only when ECL_UNICODE is
defined, so I did a dirty trick and added #define ECL_UNICODE to
src/if_ecl.c.

Next errors come from the linker:
objects/if_ecl.o: In function `intern_vim':if_ecl.c:(.text+0x14):
undefined reference to `make_string_copy'

couldn't find any traces of function (or anything) called
make_string_copy in the ecl sources. I'll investigate this further
later.

Thanks =)
