*nix preliminary XDG support

[mwilliammyers]

Need to test this on someone else's machine. On mine the colors seem to be screwed up even though I didn't touch that part of the code.

[mwilliammyers]

Setting viminfo like set viminfo+=n$XDG_CACHE_HOME/vim/viminfo as suggested in this great blog post did not work for me.

[mwilliammyers]

To be clear I did not attempt to handle any support for Windows as XDG doesn't really support Windows... It would be wise to have someone test this on Windows at some point down the road though to make sure everything runs fine...

can you rebase this, once you've completed the mentioned changes?

[mwilliammyers]

FYI I just started school again :( so I don't know when I will be able to fix everything...

[ghost]

Would you have time to apply some of the fixes (like removing the [[ from bootstrap.sh) and then rebase it? Don't bother trying to experiment with the source/eval stuff.

[mwilliammyers]

Yes I could do that.

[ghost]

can you still? :)

neovim has xdg support now: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/commit/1ca5646bb52ec5c23b28f45bb7bc5d25cffad9b0

EDIT: previously had pasted to the wrong commit!

@mkwmms @jrobeson what's the status of this? I'd love to get it in.

i don't think it's been rebased since I asked for it. I think I wasn't sure if there was any concerns (performance, security, etc) with using exec like so:

exec 'source ' . somevar

@jrobeson I'm not familiar with XDG and I'm not yet using NeoVim so if you could own either getting this rebased and merged or close it that would be awesome. cc @mkwmms
