>Description:
   I have a package mostly written that depends on vim to view/edit some
preferences files in a fancy manner. The author of the software has created
vim syntax/plugin files to make it all look very nice, but I cannot install
the files in an extendable way because vim config files are in a subdirectory
named as to the version (eg ${PREFIX}/share/vim/vim63/.. for vim 6.3) and this
subdir name is not easily extracted from the package (it is hardcoded and will
presumably change for each version of vim)
>How-To-Repeat:
   yes  
>Fix:
   My idea is to have an extra file editors/vim-share/version.mk containing
the vim version specific information but no package building commands that would
be included where appropriate, and could be included from other packages that
wished to install a vim plugin/syntax file to the correct place.  This following
patch to be applied in the editors/vim-share directory will make such a system:
