looks good

$ grep vim test/*
zsh: exit 1     grep vim test/*

i.e. no vim tests...

Also, as *I* will execute my tests in Linux these won't make things
fail -- and probably no-one else eager to test won't have problems
either

So I think these patches are good until someone(tm) finds other
issues (if any),
