Whenever "hg incoming" (on Christian Brabandt's Mercurial mirror at
https://bitbucket.org/vim-mirror/vim) shows that there are new
changesets; however if all new changesets are for tests and/or
Windows, I download them but don't yet build (I'm on Linux and
normally I don't run the tests).

I just uploaded my ~/.vimrc at
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/vimrc — but I don't
regard it as specific to the latest development build; I would use it
with any "reasonably recent" build and with any featureset from Tiny
to Huge. It will ptobably not suit you as-is but if you see
interesting ideas in it, feel free to pick and choose.

I don't modify the Makefile, I use the src/Makefile unchanged and I
set my configure arguments by means of environment variables, see
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm


Best regards,
Tony.
