I haven't planed to distribute yet another copy of Vim at first. Well, as you said, that should make it easier for others to test.

I just realized you have already distributed vectorized Vim logo (runtime/vimlogo.eps and runtime/vimlogo.pdf), I'll use those instead. Forget about those SVG files. Thanks!
