Linux Vim doesn't like DOS line endings (CR-LF), but Windows Vim
accepts either DOS or Unix (LF) line endings. Therefore, a Vim
script or configuration file saved with Unix line endings will work
equally well with both Windows and Linux Vim.
I use one set of Vim configuration files for both Windows and Linux.
To help keep the line endings correct, I have a
~/.vim/after/ftplugin/vim.vim file that contains, among other
things,
setlocal fileformats=unix,dos
That's all I have to do for files that I create myself. Some Vim
scripts on vim.org or vim.sf.net are archived with DOS line endings.
Those I convert to Unix line endings with d2u or dos2unix on a Unix
system.

Gary
