Add a script that auto-generates a Vim syntax highlighting file for Python.

Just symlink or copy python.vim to ~/.vim/syntax/ .  Also included is a sample
Python file with basic expressions to make sure they are highlighted.

Also add a Vim directory in Misc to hold all Vim configuration files.

Misc/Vim/python.vim
