patch 7.4.742
Problem:    Cannot specify a vertical split when loading a buffer for a
            quickfix command.
Solution:   Add the "vsplit" value to 'switchbuf'. (Brook Hong)

 	   split	If included, split the current window before loading

 			Otherwise: do not split, use current window.
+	   vsplit	Just like "split" but split vertically.
 	   newtab	Like "split", but open a new tab page.  Overrules
