Subject:	vim 7.4.838 doesn't source system wide config file
MIME-Version:	1.0
X-SenderIP:	140.105.207.242

I have created a system wide config file in /etc/vimrc but vim is not sourcing 
it. The same config file works like a charm if I put it into ~HOME/.vimrc

$ vim -V

...
could not source "$VIM/vimrc"
...

It seems to be a difference between vi and vim, the former uses directly /etc 
while the latter refers to $VIM

$ vi --version

...
system vimrc file: "/etc/virc"
fallback for $VIM: "/etc"
..

$ vim --version

...
system vimrc file: "$VIM/vimrc"
fallback for $VIM: "/etc"
