So that Robin and I never again forget what the little bastards are called.. The syntactic sugar in source files requried for vim to be ‘just the way you like it’ isn’t called “magic comments” or “vim source configure” or any other search combination that leads to repeated head-meeting-brick incidents when trying to remember what they are. They’re called modelines (:help modeline)
An example modeline that works for Python would be:
#!/usr/bin/python
# vim: ai sm tw=0 sw=4 ts=4

Just found this useful little tool for summerising machine information read from /proc. I can’t find a home page for it but it can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/people/svm/. It seems to ship by default with at least SUSE 9.3 and Fedora Core 4.
