When developing an application where you have split out shared functionality to multiple dependent gem repositories can get cumbersome when you

• need to edit the Gemfile in order to swap local :path sources with :git or just plain Rubygems sources,
• then forget to bundle update,
• wonder why your git repository is dirty and it's just the modified Gemfile and Gemfile.lock,
• accidentally commit the Gemfile.lock with local :path sources bundled etc. etc.

# default vim on osx doesn't have python, ruby support or clipboard support.  These configure options add all that
# I also ran into problems using rvm ruby, had to include those libs in the LDFLAGS for vim

# Steps:

$ rvm install 1.9.1
$ rvm use 1.9.1  # vim doesn't support anything higher
$ curl ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unix/vim-7.3.tar.bz2 | tar xj
$ cd vim73
$ ./configure --with-features=huge --enable-perlinterp=yes --enable-rubyinterp=yes --enable-pythoninterp=yes --enable-multibyte
