I created better syntax highlighting definitions here:

Having it in a separate repository is convenient for installation with vim package managers, but feel free to include it in the ducttape distribution too!

+ Please send me issues/pull requests if something is missing

Cool!

Could you say a bit more about how vim package mangers work or throw a
pointer? I'm an emacs user. Personally, I'm happy to do whatever will
make 99% of vim users happy.

So you don't _need_ package manager, you can just install the manually:
mkdir -p ~/.vim/syntax ~/.vim/ftdetect
cp syntax/ducttape.vim ~/.vim/syntax
cp ftdetect/ducttape.vim ~/.vim/ftdetect
this is a little bit long...

Victor,

Perhaps let's merge this with the main ducttape repo. Then I can
install vim highlighting system-wide even if users aren't familiar
with package managers. For example:
https://github.com/jhclark/ducttape/blob/master/Makefile.dist. We can
provide a vim-install.sh script that does these things if that's a bit
verbose. Does that sound reasonable?

I've given you push rights to the ducttape repo should you want to
merge this in. :)

Jon
