[Vimoutliner] Errors with Vim 7.1 on Windows

Yup: fully up and running. Upon looking into it further (using my home
computer), I found that vim on Windows for some reason sets $HOME to
be $HOMEDRIVE:$HOMEPATH. In my case, at work, this was set to H:\ for
some reason. So, I guess I could have (and probably should have)
installed all the files into H:\vimfiles (for example). However,
H:\vimfiles didn't exist initially and I didn't know to look for it
there. (It is also a curious feature of vim for windows to rename what
normally would be .vim to vimfiles.)

(Sigh) Windows.
