This is my vimrc configuration. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
If you intend to clone this for your one file, you may want to take a look at mappings.vim.
It has an external dependency on pandoc.
To compile vim from source, we'll need some options like this:
./configure --enable-pythoninterp --with-python-config-dir=/usr/lib64/python2.6/config --with-features=big
In order for the PHP debugger to work, VIM also needs :sign command. There are instructions here for how to enable that.
To add new plugins and stuff
git submodule add http://github.com/plugin/plugin.git .vim/bundle/plugin
git add .
git clone https://github.com/praetoriansentry/vim.git
cd vim
git submodule init
git submodule update
