Checking vimproc in BSD #275

(Not a bug.)

Hi there! I noticed that vimproc boasts BSD support, though admittedly it is difficult to test how well this behaves in BSD environments, especially if the developers aren't so hardcore as to use a BSD as their native host OS. I wanted to mention Vagrant as a tool to bridge the gap for conveniently testing applications for different operating systems, from a virtual machine accessible via command line from your normal host OS.

For example, the mcandre/vagrant-freebsd-cpp box can spin up a FreeBSD guest OS with a C/C++ compiler, and manipulate source files from the host using shared folders. Anyone interested in testing vimproc for FreeBSD can use a box like this, so the testing can be done mostly from the command line with the vagrant ssh command.

I also pushed a mcandre/vagrant-openbsd-cpp box for OpenBSD, and there are similar boxes for NetBSD, Solaris, and other operating systems.

The more ya know!
