Hi Richard - I might have missed a previous post of yours, but I had
encountered this problem at one time myself.  My solution was to
redefine shadow before #including the cocoa headers.  Effectively this
will change the cocoa headers and the enum - which won't matter at all
unless Vim uses shadow (which I don't think it does).  Then ECL will
be happy.

Cheers
