Sorry, I wasn't quite clear: MacVim doesn't support the Ctrl modifier
as it is (due to some weirdness with the Cocoa drag&drop API).  Since
your patch still relies on the Ctrl key I cannot benefit from it
(which is fine since there is already a setting to make dropped files
open in tabs/splits/... in MacVim).

>From my point of view, it would be nice to have this functionality in
all gvim ports, but since I guess other ports will keep relying on
modifier keys to distinguish different type of drops it doesn't matter
so much to me how it is done.  (Of course, it would be feasible to
rewrite the drag&drop so that no modifier keys are required by having
one option which defines how dropped files should open [split/tab/...]
and then MacVim could make use of it.  On platforms where modifiers
are supported they can modify the drop behavior similarly to how they
do now...)
