Vim: Colors definitions are private to the theme

[cdlm]

solarized.vim uses script-local variables to store the color definitions, so it's impossible to reuse them elsewhere in the config.

For instance I'd like to use this statusline trick to show the current mode, but to do so I either have to copy the color values in my config file, or to patch solarized.vim itself.

Would it be possible to make the colors accessible?

I've sent a pull request to implement just this: https://github.com/altercation/vim-colors-solarized/pull/32

@drslump Any chance you can re-submit that to this repository? It seems like the vim-colors-solarized repository only exists as a convenience, such as for vim package managers. Perhaps that's why it hasn't gotten any attention.
