While working on a Windows machine, I found that I could selectively load settings or plugins based on the Vim servername by do a regular expression check against the v:servername variable right in vimrc.

Example:
 if v:servername =~ '^\cHPWORK\d*'
   ru HP/HPSpecificPlugin.vim
 endif

I had been relying on this featured when sharing a vimrc file for XWindows under Linux. What I found is that this technique does not seem to work. I traced in the Vim source code and it seems like v:servername is set fairly late in start up process for Vim after the script files have been run. Thus when vimrc is executed v:servername is blank and all these v:servername checks are false.

Is there a place in the startup process or a sensable technique under XWindows to trigger loading something globally based on the v:servername value? I am using this technique as an alternative to an auto command that assumes a particular filename or file extension.
