When viewing directories with vim 6.3.084 / vim-core 6.3.084-r1, a confusing
error message about trailing characters shows up. This is because the updated
netrw.vim uses the keepalt command, which does not exist in vim 6.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. vim .
Actual Results:  
Error detected while processing function <SNR>19_LocalBrowse:
line   91:
E488: Trailing characters
Hit ENTER or type command to continue

After this, the directory shows up correctly.

Expected Results:  
Show the current directory without any error messages.

LocalBrowse line 91 (/usr/share/vim/vim63/plugin/netrw.vim line 2153) is " 
keepalt silent! %d"

vim7/runtime/doc/version7.txt (from vim-core-7.0_alpha20050809) mentions keepalt
as one of the changes between vim 6 and vim 7.

% emerge -pv vim-core vim

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
