Ideally, I'd like to restructure mud to use quilt for package
management and a number of other enhancements. Anybody who wants to
assist (and I don't care if it changes from being in Perl!), there're
some notes here:

Ta. Working on this now. I'll try to avoid getting distracted by
tooling issues and instead focus on delivering a new vim package.
