Attached is a proposed change to the vim module.

This change will sync up vim's runtime files (colors, docs, indents,
macros, plugins, syntax, etc) right after the install with the current
offical versions of these files. This is a optional install step that is
listed on the vim.org website.

To enable this the following changes were made from the current vim
module.
* Added a CONFIGURE file that asks the user if they want to do this,
   with a note saying that rsync is required.
* Added an optional_depends on rsync.
* Modified the BUILD file so that:
   * If the user said Y to the runtime update AND rsync is installed it
      will execute the command as listed on the vim.org website of
      (rsync -avzcP --delete --exclude="dos"
      ftp.nluug.nl::Vim/runtime/ .) in the $VIMRUNTIME directory.
   * If the user said N to the update then the update will not happen.
   * If the user said Y to the update but failed to install rsync, a
      (non-fatal) error message is given to the user at that point in
      the BUILD process.

Anyone have any objections to this?  Tweaks?  Thoughts at all?
