Works for me. The 'keymap' option is still present, but it's (always
ben) a compile-time feature. See at
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm how I set my
configure options — and BTW I never call configure directly: I let make
do it, by running "make config" (for configure only) or "make reconfig"
(for configure + compile) if something has changed in my configuration
settings or in my software install.
-- Hm, you didn't specify which featureset, which means that you want
"Normal" features. For keymaps you need "Big" features.

About the combining accents, what was it again? ISTR that it was not
with every non-combining character. Currently, in one of my gvim 7.3c
windows there is a file where I'm typing a mixture of Russian and
French, with a homemade keymap for Cyrillic and combining acutes to show
the stress in Russian, and it works quite well. In fact those combining
acutes are displayed better in gvim than in SeaMonkey.

...ah yes, the last byte of U+0300 is 0x80 in UTF-8, the last byte of
U+0301 is 0x81, and IIRC Vim had problems with that in some
circumstances; but didn't Bram fix it?

Well, have you tried applying Ben's patch? And does it work?

Best regards,

THE LESSER-KNOWN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES #17: SARTRE

Named after the late existential philosopher, SARTRE is an extremely
unstructured language. Statements in SARTRE have no purpose; they just
are. Thus SARTRE programs are left to define their own functions.
SARTRE programmers tend to be boring and depressed, and are no fun at
parties.
