That may be true, its been too long for me to remember. But they do
look in different locations for the pan-users vimrc.

I use the has("...") alot in vimrc. I also used "ln -s" alot in the
past, but I think I fell out of using it in general because the link
isn't recognized sometimes. I don't recall the circumstances, and for
all I know, it may depend on the version of cygwin. However, thanks
for your suggestion. I will reconsider going back to it, at least for
vim.
