FYI ... my shell extension project has seen it's first public release. The Vim icon is embedded within the Vim version of the shell extension, and I hope that you'll all like it. Please feel free to use it, ignore it, or suggest improvements. It's been released under the Boost license, which will make it easy to use it as the official Vim shell extension if you all feel at some point in the future that it deserves that recognition. The project is on SourceForge/GitHub at http://sourceforge.net/projects/editwith/ Thanks again for the permission to use the Vim icon.
