No i dont mean symlinking vi to vim. Thats not an option. See http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13239#comment39968 & downwards. I mean building both in the same PKGBUILD. See the CRUX Pkgfile i posted previously I think it does exactly that. -- Greg

Since having vi is required by the POSIX standards, wouldn't a bundled vi+vim make perl required? Or is it an actual optdepend for vim? (I'm not at my home box at the moment to check)
