What a funny idea.
- The .vimrc file does not start any subshell as long as there's no
:sh commmand or such.
- There's no default vimrc file in that package anymore.
- all vim script files (including .vimrc) must be in binary line
ending mode. Convert all CRLF to FL.
Please don't Cc me in a mail to the list. I'm reading the list on
a regular basis and I can do w/o two copies of the same posting.
Keep Cygwin stuff on list.
Thanks,
Corinna
