[Vimperator] Vimperator: .vimperator for Mac

[Edward Gomez]

Thanks Ted, the file was correctly named _vimperatorrc (my typo in the
message) but unfortunately OSX doesn't see the file in the home directory.
It is now correctly named without the extension following the instructions
you provided.  I hope someone else knowledgeable about Macs can glean
through the words and see what is happening.  I appreciate your help.
