After some time we used post_install magic to make the vim binary more
capable and some people complaining about vim not having x features
while gvim is not installed I decided to separate all packages. This
means we have a new layout of the packages:
* vi - serves vi binary only, ex, vidiff and the whole runtime. No
X-server capabilities, and it listens /etc/virc and ~/.virc only!
This is the only package that comes with base. vim moves to editors
* vim - X capabilities(can drag splits in xterms, runs as server
etc), Ruby,python and Perl-support. listens to
/etc/vimrc ~/.vimrc
* gvim - like vim but with gtk2 interface and listens to
/etc/gvimrc and ~/.gvimrc
The reason is that people complaint about missing X support in vim
sessions, and for some people the symlinks screwed
up.
