I'm not sure if @PProvost is active on this as I created a patch for this sometime back.
You can see the details here.

Even if you delete the newline it doesn't seem to do anything when it loads. I'm on Linux though.

@Proxa, The way to fix the issue on Linux is to run dos2unix on all ps1.vim files in the package. Doing that solved the problem for me.

Note: If you are on Ubuntu, dos2unix might not be present by default. Install it using the command sudo apt-get install dos2unix.

Running dos2unix fails on ps1.vim with:

dos2unix: Binary symbol found at line 17
dos2unix: Skipping binary file /home/ec2-user/.vim/bundle/powershell/indent/ps1.vim

You can work-around this by using -f:

dos2unix -f /home/ec2-user/.vim/bundle/powershell/indent/ps1.vim

For anyone who doesnt have dos2unix readily available.

perl -pe 's/\r\n|\n|\r/\n/g' inputfile > outputfile # Convert to UNIX

Worked very nicely, and i now have Powershell syntax colouring in OSX native vim.
