That example must be a leftover from the Vim 5.4 help, I suppose. I
remember I had the problem when Vim 7.0 alpha first came out and I
started compiling its "snapshots": IIRC, I had to find the proper string
in the source to understand that it had to be installed to a directory
named vim70aa, not just vim70.
Best regards,
