How can I share vsvimrc file across different versions of Visual Studio

Question

Recently I installed two versions of Visual Studio on the same machine with VSVim extensions. Because they differ in functionality they require different settings in the vsvimrc file and that is the problem.

Is it possible to share the same vsvimrc file between different versions of Visual Studio but select slightly different configuration based on the version?

What settings do you want to be different between the versions? — JaredPar, Aug 06 '14 at 14:39
In one version I want to map Resharper commands whereas in the second I want to make use of the native functionality of VS. — StanislawSwierc, Aug 06 '14 at 21:27

Depending on what the exact parameters of your problem, you could do several things. For one, you could put the base of common functionality in your _vsvimrc and put the difference in a separate file for each version and then just source that file when you start Visual Studio. That requires a manual step of sourcing the file, but it could work.
