There's probably a better way to do this, but here's what I do in my
.emacs file WRT :open and the like:

;; Make :o and :open work in viper. Why isn't this the default?
(defadvice ex-cmd-assoc (after ted-open-fix activate)
  "Make vi's :o and :open work correctly."
  (when (string-equal (car ad-return-value) "open")
      (setq ad-return-value
            '("open" (find-file
                      (read-file-name "Find file: "))))))

Perhaps you could do something similar for :meep, or :make?
