Well, I never ran tcsh or its variants and that one caught me! I do
think there is some way to set environment variables in tcsh as I've
seen it referenced elsewhere.

I'm not sure as I've seen the reference to the $VIMRUNTIME env variable
in the vim docs. Since it seems vim is "hardwired" to look in
/usr/share/vim, perhaps /usr/share/vim should be a sim-link to a real
directory of /usr/share/vim56 or whatever the prefered installed version.
This would likely cause some problems if mutliple versions are installed.
Also, I can see where doing this to a live system would likely hose
the packaging system. However, the current layout probably has as many
issues. Perhaps contacting the vim package maintainer would provide some
insight.
