While working on a Windows machine, I found that I could 
selectively load settings or plugins based on the Vim 
servername by do a regular expression check against the 
v:servername variable right in vimrc.
Example:
  if v:servername =~ '^\cHPWORK\d*'
    ru HP/HPSpecificPlugin.vim
  endif
I had been relying on this featured when sharing a vimrc 
file for XWindows under Linux.  What I found is that this 
technique does not seem to work.  I traced in the Vim 
source code and it seems like v:servername is set fairly 
late in start up process for Vim after the script files 
have been run.  Thus when vimrc is executed v:servername 
is blank and all these v:servername checks are false.
Is there a place in the startup process or a sensable 
technique under XWindows to trigger loading something 
globally based on the v:servername value?  I am using this 
technique as an alternative to an auto command that 
assumes a particular filename or file extension.
