Versions of VIM included with Intrepid and Leopard at least appear

to handle symlinks just fine, so reword the instructions in the
README accordingly.

IMPORTANT: Making symlinks from ~/.vim/syntax/... to the syntax files in your
LLVM source tree does not work, you DO need to copy the files directly.
If you prefer, instead of making copies you can make symlinks from
~/.vim/syntax/... to the syntax files in your LLVM source tree. Apparently
did not work with older versions of vim however, so if this doesn't work
you may need to make actual copies of the files.
However, if you do not already have a ~/.vim/syntax/ directory, simply
symlinking it to llvm/utils/vim will do the trick nicely, and you can stay
up-to-date with CVS.
Another option, if you do not already have a ~/.vim/syntax directory, is
to symlink ~/.vim/syntax itself to llvm/utils/vim .
Note: If you notice missing or incorrect syntax highlighting, please contact
