I seem to be a lone dissenting voice here, so I'm proably missing 
something, but is this really a good idea? I've always regarded the 
split packaging of vim in other distros as an unfortunate consequence of 
their not being able to handle compile time options. Since one of gentoos 
strengths is that it can this seems an odd decision - what's the advantage 
over using the X and gtk USE settings like before?
