This is apparently not a bug but a deliberate decision by the Red
Hat package maintainers.  I base that on the observation that
/usr/bin/vi and /usr/bin/vim on my Fedora 17 installation are
configured with those same system vimrc files:

    $ /usr/bin/vi --version
    ...
       system vimrc file: "/etc/virc"
    ...

    $ /usr/bin/vim --version
    ...
       system vimrc file: "/etc/vimrc"
    ...

It makes sense that Cygwin, belonging to Red Hat, would use the same
configuration as other Red Hat distributions.

(Please correct me if I've misstated the relationships between Red
Hat, Fedora and Cygwin.)

Regards,
Gary
