Actually I was suggesting something different.  build it twice once  
with X, install it to gvim, then build it with out X and install that  
executable to vim.

I wasn't saying that an optional depends isn't a proper solution, but  
thinking of the few times that a linked library thats part of vim was  
damaged and not having a vim that would run was quite annoying,  once  
I had to boot in live cd fashion because I had no editor.....   I  
guess I could have used sed, less and others.... but with out an  
editor I couldn't edit a file I needed to to fix my broken install,  
this was a perl issue if I remember.

i guess what would be good here would be to have more so a static and  
minimal vim installed,  I'll look into a way to make it part of the  
standard vim module so that it isn't a new module that conflicts, but  
vims or vimr or lvim.

I guess i could install e3 or the like, but I love vim :-P
