Here's how to do it.  Create a /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/editors
directory and copy the vim .info file (and .patch file if it exists) in
there.  Add "--with-python" or whatever you want to the ConfigureParams
line and increment the revision number.  Add "local/main" to Trees in
/sw/etc/fink.conf.  Finally, "fink update vim".

If the vim package is updated to a revision number higher than the one in
your local directory, a "fink update-all" will replace your version.  To
get around this, call your vim package "vim-python" and add

Conflicts: vim
Replaces: vim
Provides: vim

to the .info file (this is what is done for the vim-nox package - you
might just use that one as a starting point).

Hope this helps.
