OK, for the next release I'm just going to set things up not to install
the vim files by default, but so that you can easily install them by
hand (or from packaging scripts) and specify the location, e.g:
make -C vim vimdir=/usr/share/vim/vimfiles
If you don't specify vimdir they'll just go in PREFIX/share/vim.
Hopefully I'll get 1.1.9 out in the next 24 hours.
Cheers,
Olly
