[Request] VIM: load tags from predefined folder

[ianliu]

It would be nice if the Vim plugin loaded tags from a predefined folder and don't issue error message if the PYSMELLTAGS is missing. This way you can open a simple foo.py file inside your Desktop and have completions for all tags in that predefined folder.

I've written a patch which does this by defining another variable named g:pysmell_extradir which is searched for extra pysmell tags files.
