The first step in my attempt to make a dotfiles repo for myself. This repo works quite well on its own due to its very simple installation.
Clone this to ~/.vim (or %USERPROFILE%\vimfiles on windows). Use the --recursive flag in order to get all the plugins properly.
Plugin management is done with pathogen. Use repo-to-submodule.sh to convert plugin repos into git submodules. Ideally, I should remember to use git submodule add each time instead of git clone, but repo-to-submodule.sh will fix that when I inevitably forget.
Platform-specific settings can be added in ~/.vimrc or ~/.gvimrc. However, they must source their counterpart in this configuration directory or they will completely override it.
On older versions of vim, a ~/.vimrc and ~/.gvimrc must be created (again remember to source) because ~/.vim/vimrc isn't recognized. The best solution is to use a more recent version of vim though.
