Correct.

Please next time use at least the latest released version or (preferrably)
CVS - it would save you some time.  If the CVS version doesn't compile for
you, try MC snapshots here: http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/mc/

Also please send patches inline - it's easier to comment them in the
replies.

gtkedit/syntax.c - already fixed for the text edition, but not for GMC.
By the way, have you tested your patch with the GNOME edition?  It looks
like your patch would break compilation.  Anyway, I'm fixing it for GMC.

vfs/extfs.c - I'm applying it with a very minor change.  Thank you.

vfs/sfs.c - already fixed.

As you can see, 1.5 of your 3 patches were already applied to the CVS
version :-)
