The first isn't useful (since that's the patch to apply to the last of
the 9.6's), but the others should be applied, since those are the interim
patches toward 9.8

For instance, the fix that I'm working on for "map!" should be in the 
vile-9.7i.patch.gz (in another day or so - this is the only external bug 
report that I recall).
