If noone objects I've a commit ready which implement this changes.

While I was at it I also noticed some strangeness in our current setting
of 'runtimepath', which actually is:

  ~/.vim
  /etc/vim
  /usr/share/vim/vimfiles
  /usr/share/vim/addons
  /usr/share/vim/vim64
  /usr/share/vim/vimfiles
  /usr/share/vim/addons/after
  ~/.vim/after

Two issues IMO with this:
1) vimfiles is repeated (the second is probably a typo, should be
   .../vimfiles/after)
2) /usr/share/vim/vimfiles is a symlink to /etc/vim, no point in having
   both of them

Summarizing my proposal is the following:

  ~/.vim
  /usr/share/vim/addons
  /usr/share/vim/vimfiles         (aka /etc/vim/)
  /usr/share/vim/vimcurrent       (aka /usr/share/vim/vim64/)
  /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after
  /usr/share/vim/addons/after
  ~/.vim/after
