How did I live without Pathogen all this while ?

Putting it to use with some clojure plugins:

mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload ~/.vim/bundle
curl -Sso ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim https://raw.github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen/master/autoload/pathogen.vim
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-fireplace.git
git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-classpath.git
git clone git://github.com/guns/vim-clojure-static.git

And the .vimrc gets execute pathogen#infect() at the top

Like Fangorn, ancient and deep, with hints of the long labor of a great people. There is, supposedly, a monumental city of stone down here somewhere but it’s so dark I can’t see a damn thing. No, wait! A shaft of light illuminates some runes! They read as follows:

^C^C^X^X^X^Xquit
qQ!qdammit[esc]qwertyuiopasdfghjkl;
:xwhat

The Wizard translates: “We cannot get out! We cannot get out! They are coming!”
