Actually, Vim is smart enough to figure that out from my .Xdefaults.

This is neat, but I want my colours to be exactly like XEmacs. I ended
up doing this:

: jglover@example.com; cat ~/.vim/after/syntax/syncolor.vim
if &background == "light"
 highlight comment ctermfg=darkgreen guifg=darkgreen
else
 highlight comment ctermfg=green guifg=green
endif

hi Comment    ctermfg=white
hi String     ctermfg=Brown
hi Statement  ctermfg=Yellow
hi Identifier ctermfg=LightRed
hi Type       ctermfg=LightBlue


Thanks everyone, especially Mattia!
