    For Vim 6+

    mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/ftplugin
    echo "setlocal noet" > $HOME/.vim/ftplugin/make

    And add these to your .vimrc file

" Turn on filetype support. 
filetype on
" Turn on filetype plugins.
filetype plugin on

    Automatic indentation, btw, is controlled via this setting, so turn
it off or on as you please. 

" Turn on filetype indenting by default. 
filetype indent on

    If you're not using Vim 6+, this can be done with an autocommand.
