Indeed; see my HowTo pages: http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm (Windows) http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm (Unix/Linux) > > Some may argue that "average users" would not compile by themselves, but > I doubt if average users will use vim as the editor at all. I think on Linux quite a number of them will, even if in practice they use only elementary funtionalities at first. (What do you think they would use instead? Emacs?) But they may stay with whatever version their distribution provides, and be blissfully unconscious of its being always more or less out-of-date.
