Neither the Windows installer nor the Cygwin installer creates a
system vimrc, so you are free to create and manage your own. If you
want consistency among all users and between Windows and Cygwin, I
would recommend putting your Windows system vimrc in Windows'
$VIM\vimrc (e.g., "C:\Program Files\Vim\vimrc") and creating a
Cygwin symlink to it from Cygwin's $VIM/vimrc (/usr/share/vim/vimrc),
e.g.,
$ ln -s /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Vim/vimrc /usr/share/vim/vimrc
Then you have only one system vimrc file to manage.
For those settings that need to be different between the two
systems, use the appropriate one of these tests:
if has("win32")
if has("win32unix")
if has("unix")
