Get the highlighting code from https://github.com/neilhwatson/vim_cf3, and set it up in a location that will be loaded by default.  I’m partial to making  directory under /usr/local/share, and then linking the files in.

sudo git clone git://github.com/neilhwatson/vim_cf3.git /usr/local/share/vim_cf3
for D in /usr/local/share/vim_cf3/*; \
 do [[ -d $D ]] || continue; \
 sudo ln -s $D/* /usr/share/vim/vim72/$(basename $D)/; \
 done

Add these lines to /etc/vimrc:

" set CFEngine file type
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.cf set ft=cf3
" Default to unfolding all folds on open
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile * normal zR

I hate having keyword expansion turned on by default.  There’s a parameter provided that you can add to vimrc to turn that off, but just on the principle of the thing, I’d rather have it default to “off” when installed as a global file, and allow individual users to turn it on if they really want to have their editor change things on them.  Here’s a patch against ftplugin/cf3.vim.  It’ll break if the file is updated in git at some point, but my hope is that, one day, I can get Neil convinced that this should be off by default. :)

(update: it was merged in.  The following is no longer needed)

You can run this with copy-paste by running “cat – | patch -p0 cf3.vim” and pasting this in, then hitting +D.
