Syntax highlighting for F# in the VIM editor.

Vim Syntax Highlighting for F# (FSharp)

This is a merge of the vim-included OCAML syntax files and the vim F# files from Choy Rim. I had some issues with the latter, and therefore this project exists at all.

The F# syntax highlighting is sufficient for the occasional hacking under Linux/Mac (for heavy .NET interaction I'd recommend VisualStudio with the VsVim Plugin). However, the highlighting is not perfect. I'm not an expert in vim syntax-highlighting nor do I have the resources to become one. Anybody more qualified then myself and willing to take over responsibility and maintain this package is welcome to do so.
