[vile] Problem with syntax highlighting in vile 9.8l

[Chris Green]

Now I have VILE_STARTUP_PATH working OK I seem to have raked up
another problem.

I have vile installed on several systems.  On my Linux boxes I'm
running 9.8q but on a Debian system running on a virtual server it's
only at 9.8l.

I have installed the packages vile, vile-common and vile-filters and
I've copied my customised vile.keywords over the default one in
/usr/share/vile.  

The syntax highlighting colours stay stubbornly at the default, not my
custom colours.  What have I missed? Is there something
broken/different about how syntax highlighting is handled in 9.8l?
