Vim Syntax for HWD files

Hi list,

My name is Neil Watkiss, and I've been using HWD for a week. :-)

Jeremy, a colleague of mine here at Sophos, made a HWD syntax
highlighting mode for vim. It makes editing todo lists pretty!

To try it out, install as ~/.vim/syntax/hwd.vim, and add a vim
modeline like this at the bottom of your HWD files:

    # vim: ft=hwd

You could also associate *.hwd with HWD files.

Cheers,
Neil
