A Makefile generation script within the mozilla build required it, but I
decided adding two dependencies just to make a Makefile which isn't
specific to the user's system was overcomplicating matters.

Also, I noticed earlier the presence of virtual/editor, which nvi/vim
can satisfy, so I don't know how much utility virtual/ex will serve...
