description
This theme is based on Josh O'Rourke's Vim clone of the railscast
textmate theme ( vimscript #1995 ).  The key thing I have done here is
supply 256-color terminal equivalents for as many of the colors as
possible, and fixed up a few of the funny tags for editing e-mails and
such.

railscasts.vim 2.1 2008-03-02 7.0 Nick Moffitt Accidentally commented out the more specific ruby colors, and made the capitalization spelling color less obnoxious.  Also got rid of goofy if/else block and just made all the definitions inline.  This helps uniformity greatly.
