Just out of curiosity, what's the advantage of doing this? Remote usage? Just trying to figure out what motivated the change. :-)

Recently, I started having to ssh into 4 or 5 different machines. Forwarding COLORFGBG and TERM_PROGRAM plus this change to vim-togglecursor made using vim remotely much more bearable. Also, I can avoid using sshfs just to edit files remotely.

I figured it was something like that. Thanks for the pull request!
