Here's what I've distilled this to: It works well!
" Set config directory: Usually ~/.vim or ~/vimfiles"
let ConfigBase = split(&runtimepath, ',')[0]
exec "source " substitute(glob(ConfigBase . "/scripts/*"), "\n",
"\nsource ", "g")
I've always split up my vim settings, and I keep everything in a
"scripts" folder.
Thanks for all the help!
