* .vimrc.before should not be modified (just like any other non-local
or non-fork config file)
* .vimrc.before contains a list of all options that can be set
* .vimrc.before.local is where these options would actually be set
* support .vimrc.before and .vimrc.before.fork in install scripts
I've gone through the entire repository, checking all http:// links to
see if the corresponding https urls would also work. This is especially
important when asking the user to run a script they fetched via curl,
because in the case of a mitm they will have no way at all to detect
that something malicious is going on.
I believe the original bootstrap.sh checks if the files to be backed up
exist and are not symbolic links. In case of XP I think that not backing
up if "..\.spf13-vim-3" exists would probably be sufficient to save
updating users the wait.
If they decided to use the distribution the .vimrc should not be edited
manually anyway.
Since there is no mklink in windows XP and installing the tool that
provides this function is only possible on NTFS filesystems I created
this installer for my colleagues at work.
Probably far from a perfect solution but just so people on old XP boxes
can enjoy the awesomness easily.
