VIM + Arabic complex characters - done

[Nadim Shaikli <shaikli at yahoo dot com>]

After a bit of hair-pulling, I was fortunate enough to recently be able
to add the Arabic meta-combining abilities (also termed "complex character
handling") to allow for the display "LAA" and its sisters as apposed to
seeing the odd combinations of LAM+ALEF :-)

Help yourselves in downloading the patch and/or the modified files at the
following URLs,

  http://www.arabeyes.org/download/external/vim/arabic_shape60.patch
  http://www.arabeyes.org/download/external/vim/arabic_shape60.tar.gz

Note: the patch (and files) are against VIM-6.0 vanilla; once 6.1 is
      released the patch and files will be reworked to mimic the current
      blessed release.  This will continue until the patch gets integrated
      into VIM's main trunk :-)

For further info/directions/how-tos, please read

Regards & Enjoy...
