Re: PATH

Oh, sorry I was not aware of vim-app on macports. The only additional comment I have is that you may want to have "if has('gui')" before changing the $PATH variable since you probably don't need to change it in terminal-vim. 

Also, my MacVim does not seem to load any environment variables for the user (using zsh). At least, that's why I have set it explicitly.

It is for vim-app, not MacVim, so this is what I used in my .gvimrc:

if has("mac")
  if has("gui_macvim")
    if has("patch260") " Snow Leopard, previously bottom left
      winpos 0 23
    endif
  else " vim-app
    set lines=39
    let $PATH = ':/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:' . $PATH
  endif
endif

MacVim seems to pickup the path correctly
from the .profile file where I have:

export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
