Yeah, I actually noticed this after I sent that email, so I realize
now the situation was not completely in your control.

Awesome. Thanks for getting the details straight. If you have the
vim-* packages checked out in SVN, it should be as simple as a sed to
update the path to the correct value, and then bumping the pkgrel
values. Unfortunately I'm pretty busy through the end of the week
here, but we'll see if I can't help out a bit if it doesn't get done
in the next few days.
