Details

Vim can't handle on Archlinux the /var/log/messages.log file for colorization.

You can see here the modification in the syslog conf related file from /var/log/messages, that other distribution, bsd, aix use:
http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/packages/syslog-ng/repos/core-i686/syslog-ng.conf


I don't know what was the reason for the changing from /var/log/messages to /var/log/messages.log, but it's fix for it to insert this line into /usr/share/vim/vim72/filetype.vim during vim building from core without modifying the syslog-ng package:
au BufNewFile,BufRead /var/log/messages,/var/log/messages.log,/var/log/messages.*[0-9] setf messages

I tested it on x86 and x86_64 too, and works for me.
This task depends upon
