PowerShell highlighting in Vim

Well, I feel stupid. I just finally got syntax highlighting for PowerShell to work in Vim. I did a little Googling and found my solution in the PDF document linked form this article. Why you need an 8 page PDF to explain this is a completely different issue.

Turns out I was just missing some lines in my filetype.vim file. I already had the syntax, indent, and file type plugins, I just didn't think to add the code to activate them (for some reason I thought that stuff was loaded dynamically). However, page 6 of that PDF gave the answer:

" Powershell
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.ps1,*.psc1 setf ps1

I just added those lines to my filetype.vim, below the corresponding entries for Povray files, and voilà! Syntax highlighting now works.
