I had a look at this.
First a small remark about the patch:
Places for your personal initializations:
- Unix $HOME/.vimrc or $HOME/.vim/vimrc
+ Unix $HOME/.vimrc or $HOME/.vim/vimrc;
+ with |+xdg_basedir| feature, it can also be
+ $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vim/vimrc (first place)
That should be $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vim, without the /vimrc.
Problem with making this a compile-time feature is that if the binary is
shared with several users, or it's part of a precompiled package,
suddenly the user has to put his Vim files elsewhere. This will quickly
lead to two different binaries, so that users can select the one that
fits them.
Making this a runtime option is problematic, since the changes are in
the default values.
This is far from ideal, I expect it to cause more trouble than it would
ever solve. Who actually uses these $XDG_ variables?
Probably the only way is to ADD these $XDG_ directories, after the
current directories. So that they only get used if the old directories
do not exist. Then users getting a new binary will not notice a
difference, and are free to move their files to the new location, if
that is that they prefer.
In practice this probably means users would do:
mv ~/.vim ~/.config/vim
mv ~/.vimrc ~/.config/vim/vimrc
