Vim plugin collection again

There were another vim plugin post last year for C development. The collection was somewhat out-of-date, though it does not depends on many external tools (git, python, etc). I have upgraded the collection a lot lately to make it morden, and also support development with Python.

Installation

Requirements: vim compiled with python support, git.

Optional: python-jedi, python-flake8, clang

Download this vimrc file.

Clone Vundle to vim folder

mkdir -p ~/.vim/bundle
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim
vim

In vim command, input :PluginInstall<CR>, the plugins should be automatically installed.
