A much improved updated version is now in the main tree. I strongly
suggest that anyone using vim to edit portagey things gives it a go. As
well as giving you better syntax highlighting for ebuild keywords, it'll
pick up certain mistakes and make them really stand out:

Suggestions, patches, etc welcomed. Smartarse remarks about emacs or
nano will lead to a smiting.
