I'll also fix the strange #ifdefs for xterm.
Thanks, using vim-7.4.1778, I now have gui colors with 256 colors in the terminal, but... only if I use xterm. If I use xfce4-terminal or gnome-terminal, the terminal becomes black and white as soon as I set guicolors. Yet gnome-terminal or xfce4-terminal are capable of using 256 colors. I could use gui colors with CSApprox plugin in those terminals. I'll switch to using xterm, but I suppose that many people use gnome-terminal or xfce4-terminal and might have the same issue. On the plus side, when using xterm with "set guicolors" instead of the CSApprox plugin, Vim startup time is is much faster: 122 msec instead of 322 msec.
