vimconf: vim configuration made easy!

Hello, fellow vim users!

It's my pleasure to annonce you the public release of the 'vimconf' project:

https://github.com/yannicklm/vimconf

At first, it may looks like any git repository containing vim conf files, and indeed it is.

But wait, there's more!

The repo comes also with two files

bin/get-vimconf.py

a simple little python2 script

and

vimconf.cfg

The script lets you put any pluging url you want in the config file, be it a git repository, or a .vim, a .zip or a .vba form vim.org

You can also add scripts that need certain build setps, like command-t for instance

A short view of get-vimconf in action

$ cat vimconf.cfg

[plugins]
a              = http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=7218
command-t      = git://github.com/wincent/Command-T.git
pathogen       = git://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen.git

[build]
command-t = rake

$ python2 bin/get-vimconf.gitz$ python2

The repo is designed to be forked (nothing more personal than a vim config), so please do

Hope you enjoy it

PS1:
It's still in an alpha stage, use at your own risk.

The project is just a few hours old ....

PS2:
Big tanks to tpope for the wonderful 'pathogen' plugin which kind of got me started on this project.
