	There is already such an addon for vim -- and it launches
it from the system-standard location.

	Putting a copy in /usr/local won't be called.  If you want to
replace the main copy and all it's purposes/uses, you need to overwrite
the system copy.

	Why would you install a system copy of vim anywhere other 
than in the system location?  To install it in /usr/local would 
prevent it from working normally -- why would anyone do that?

	Not on my system.
