What a funny idea.

- The .vimrc file does not start any subshell as long as there's no
  :sh commmand or such.

- There's no default vimrc file in that package anymore.

- all vim script files (including .vimrc) must be in binary line
  ending mode.  Convert all CRLF to FL.

Please don't Cc me in a mail to the list.  I'm reading the list on
a regular basis and I can do w/o two copies of the same posting.
Keep Cygwin stuff on list.

Thanks,
Corinna
