I've just released a new version (20040901). Changes include:

* Support for Gentoo ChangeLogs (see [1] for an example, top is default
vim behaviour, bottom is new behaviour)
* Better GLEP syntax
* Better error highlighting
* Some new eclasses on the supported list

Help is available in vim via :help gentoo-syntax .

Feedback would be much appreciated, especially since I'm trying to
persuade devrel to mention this package in the docs [2] in place of
their existing horridly broke setup.

If it doesn't work straight off, try re-emerging vim-core and running
etc-update.
