Hi again,

since I am hoping that the 'margincolumn' feature will find its way
into the oncoming vim 7.3 release I tried to extend the feature by
allowing to define multiple columns to be highlighted.

As far as I could test the changes it works pretty well. A few notes
regarding the implementation: The 'margincolumn' setting is now a
string type setting used like this:

" highlight columns 20, 40 and textwidth+1
:set mc=-1,20,40

Internally the columns are stored inside a sorted fixed-size integer
array to reduce redrawing time. As far I can tell this way merely
increases redrawing time. Perhaps there is an even better solution out
there (sadly this win_line() function is a really ugly beast ;)) but
this is the best working solution I could come up with.

Perhaps you guys want to give it a try

The patch against the latest vim73 mercurial changeset is attached.

Cheers,
Gregor
