vim foo.c

a new buffer is opened with this..

which is nearly always totally useless, and has to be deleted.

Please disable this feature by default, and have users have to enable it in
.vimrc, (as was previous behaviour) instead of making every user have to decode
the documentation (after a 10 minute search I gave up trying to find out how to
disable it), and change their .vimrc's.

for the timebeing, adding

let g:C_Version=47

to .vimrc reverts to the old behaviour.

I've disabled the templates in vim-6.4.004-2
