[slim-vim] Critical features before you'd use Slim-vim

[Brian Kalbfus]

My cygwin behaves like it did after I did a make on ecl and then on 
vim.  It starts and ends without any editor appearing.  I'll reinstall 
cygwin and see if it's the same on this computer.  I was looking for 
someone to build it natively.  To get the graphical editor in cygwin, 
I'd have to start cygwin-x and it's a little messy.  The clipboard 
sometimes misbehaves between cygwin-x and windows, too.

On windows I've been using clisp.  To get vim to interact with clisp I 
have tried some of the plugins that us perl-expect but my C++ 
development environment (lack thereof, that is) isn't up to bringing 
down the module from CPAN.  Now I'm using plain shell commands from vim 
to get output and the lisp, ai, and sm options to get it to help me 
format a little.

Thanks,
Brian
