There seems to be no good way to extend distro-provided vimrc. If the
user modifies /etc/vimrc, then RPM will keep it intact from then on,
with subsequent distribution updates going into a .rpmnew file. Sad.

On Debian the user is supposed to put the local overrides into a
vimrc.local file next to the main vimrc. That is pretty neat -- the
local configuration is separated from the system one and can be updated
independently. Let's do the same thing.
