I usually just let it wrap then use J to join lines.

set autoindent
Then I usually will paste the text, then manual indent the first line then
rejustify the text.

set comments as above gets you most of the way there.

syntax highlighting is great, "syntax on" turns it on. I typically wrap
it like:
if &t_Co > 2 || has("gui_running")
syntax on
endif
This turns syntax highlighting on only if the terminal supports more
than 2 colors, or if its running the gui version (ie, gvim)
