Hi,

I had some trouble getting VIm correctly parsing the output with blanks as 
separators,
but I now have managed to get it working with blanks instead. So the patch 
is no longer needed anymore.

For everyone who is interrested getting VIm and global together put this in 
your .vimrc:

" Use global as grep application
set grepprg=global\ -x
set grepformat=%*[^\ ]%*[\ ]%l%*[\ ]%f%*[\ ]%m

map <silent> <C-\> :grep <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR><CR>
map <silent> <C-_> :grep! -r <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR>:cw<CR>
