Versions of VIM included with Intrepid and Leopard at least appear
to handle symlinks just fine, so reword the instructions in the README accordingly. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@62719 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

-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
