Deleted: thought I got prefix to self-contain spell-check, but didn't.
I did get AAP to install all the fixes, however. It is now downloading ver. 7.1.244 .Okay, this seems to be working. This version includes all the patches and is self contained with help & spellcheck; also includes gvim.
Yes, I think I used 2.3.uciReviving this since it's about vim-xxx.uci...
Mainly @jpeters if he's interested, anyone else either way.
These are the patches issued since the version of vim currently/still in testing. I put an asterisk next to things that may justify updating it. Column with 7.1.xxx is patch number.

I've been keeping vim patched weekly on DSL hard drive via SVN (thanks Juanito!) after trying aap once to see if I'd want to try to write "recipes" to use it with other things (nope -- I'll stick with CVS/SVN). If there's interest in an update and jpeters doesn't care to do it, I can try to get it submitted this weekend along with other stuff on my to do list. http://lucky13linux.files.wordpress.com/2008....536.pngNext Page...
