This seems like it should work, but I find that in Vim >= 7.3.547 the
other window's cursorline highlight is not updated until I do one of:
1. Focus the other window
2. :redraw!

This is the case for me even when I disable 'lazyredraw'.

:windo set nolazyredraw cursorbind scrollbind cursorline

A regular :redraw isn't enough, either. I must add the bang to get
the effect. Is there possibly another setting that I'm not thinking
of that could play a part in this?
