I will. Same thing as with the other patches: I learned the right place 
for this tag after this patch went out.

>> config.status: creating auto/config.h

Hmmm, do you think? I found this a way too tiny issue to report back 
upstream. But allright, I'll report it to the Vim developer's mailing 
list tomorrow, and refer to the e-mail thread in the upstream tag.

I'm getting the idea now. Don't give up yet :)

It worked? Well, then your default minimal build includes X libraries. 
Target vim-7.2 fails in a clean build without X libraries, because the 
recipe is still broken. Another patch fixes this, it's already in the 
queue. Anyway, thanks for testing!
