disabling all forms of autoindentation in cygwin's vim

Hello, The cygwin version of vim, when installed, works well. However, autoindentation is forced on the user by default. I've mailed the vim mailing list and asked about this. Vim's creator answered and said that autoindentation is disabled by default. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=vim&m=1
