When I was on dual-boot I used the converse (notice the use of the 8.3
name for "Documents and Settings" in order to avoid troublesome spaces
in the path):
cd $HOME
ln -sv /mnt/dos/c/DOCUME~1/tony/vimfiles .vim
ln -sv /mnt/dos/c/DOCUME~1/tony/_vimrc .vimrc
the idea being that a Linux kernel can read a FAT32 or NTFS filesystem
(once it is mounted: here the Windows C: partition on /mnt/dos/c,
obviously), but a Windows kernel cannot read the usual filesystems used
on Linux (ext2, later reiserfs, ext3, ext4, etc.). Also (at that time,
and with that version of Windows) soft links existed in Linux but not
Windows, and hard links (I learnt much later) existed on NTFS but were
as good as undocumented.
This, of course, meant creating all scripts (vimrc, gvimrc if present,
*.vim) with Unix-style LF-only ends-of-lines, since Windows Vim can
source that but Unix Vim cannot source scripts with Dos-style CRLF
ends-of-lines.
And other portability issues should be taken care of when they arise --
in the Vim fasion, usually by testing has('unix') or similar.
Best regards,
Tony.
