[aur-general] An idea for vim scripts/plugins

[Magnus Therning]

Being a Vim user and having just moved to Arch I noticed that most (all?)
packages for Vim plugins install system wide.  This may not be desirable 
since
it means all users get all the plugins, and not using pacman for plugins 
puts
the burden of keeping up-to-date on the individual users.

So, inspired by Debian's vim-additions-manager, I came up with a (fairly)
light-weight solution: vim-scripts-mgr[1].  It looks for available Vim 
plugins
in `/usr/share/vim-scripts` (one directory per plugin) and can install and
uninstall individual plugins by adding symbolic links in ~/.vim for a user.

I've already uploaded two Vim plugins that make use of it, Align[2] and
haskellmode[3].

I'd be thrilled if others who package Vim plugins would consider using it.
