Bram - I think there is a glitch in the patch that you attached. It looks like a couple of lines are missing -- lines that should say that runtime/doc/starting.txt is being patched. I've just tried building with this patch. I haven't done any testing yet, but the patch fails because it is trying to patch eval.txt with hunks intended for starting.txt. I use Yegappan Lakshmanan's wonderful mru.vim for tracking recently-used files, but some built-in support would be great.
