Riml import #23

This is in master (0.3.4) now.

It works like this:

riml_import Lib1, Lib2

then we can use classes g:Lib1 and g:Lib2, and we can even inherit from them.

Also, we can pass strings to riml_import, but these strings must have a * character somewhere in them. Ex:

riml_import 'MyLib*'

Now, every global class that starts with MyLib is automatically imported upon use. We can now do:

l = new g:MyLib() or h = new g:MyLibHelpers()

There is also a commandline option --allow-undef-global-classes. All this does it adds the following:

riml_import '*'

Now, all global classes that aren't defined are imported upon use.

All this will appear in the README shortly.

I'm liking this. Would make the development of Portkey extensions a lot nicer. Extensions should be able to pull in utilities from Core that would otherwise require copy-paste driven development. Nice work!
