Marcus, I'll take a look at this.  I haven't rebuilt Vim in a long
time, and it may be that it did not configure with color because
it was not available at the time.

I use VIM over a telnet session, which produces color fine because
XTERM is known to have color.

I'll fire up my Hurd monitor and see if I can correct the problem.

Thanks,
