Have the following (in that order) in your vimrc. "indent" is optional,
you may leave it out if you don't want filetype-related indenting.

filetype plugin indent on
syntax off

see :help :syn-off

Of course, you won't get any syntax highlighting. To allow syntax
highlighting to be switched on manually but not automagically, see
:help :syn-manual
