I also like to be able to run Cygwin, Debian, Ubuntu apps from cmd or mintty
command lines, or in mintty windows, and use {g}vim on local or remote systems,
so I have common dotfiles, dotdirs, and configs, and create ~/.vim/{cache/,...}
under all home directories, and add to ~/.vim/vimrc:

	" prepend ~/.vim to override rtp ~/vimfiles
	set runtimepath^=~/.vim
	set viminfo+=n~/.vim/viminfo
	set backupdir=~/.vim/cache,~/.cache/vim,/var/tmp,/usr/tmp,/tmp
	set directory=~/.vim/cache,~/.cache/vim,/var/tmp,/usr/tmp,/tmp
	set undodir=~/.vim/cache,~/.cache/vim,/var/tmp,/usr/tmp,/tmp

as vim handles ~, dotdirs, and / separators as expected, even under Windows.
