Sorry -- that response got put into the wrong place. It was concerning
how to hide files beginning with "." while using the long liststyle.

Putting
let g:... = something

in the all-users vimrc should set it up for all users, and you should
not need to put it into user-specific directories.

On the other hand, if you as a specific user want to set up a global
variable for yourself as that user, then put it in
that user's user-specifiec vimrc.
