Vim-kickstart (not a Kickstarter), basically a bootstrap for VAM

This might be the vim config solution i'm sticking with. I tried a bunch over the last 2 years, but all of them seemed too heavy, especially janus. This solution seems to avoid all these issues by simply being a wrapper around VAM. Aside from that VAM-Bootstrapping function, it's a vanilla vimrc.
I thought you might appreciate the simple nature of this 'solution'.
set nohlsearch, for example is completely useless.
