Actually, leaving vim-lite rather than vim may be preferable.  Those who 
really want gvim, or vim compiled with their favorite interpreter built 
in (perl, python, tcl, whatever) will want to recompile anyways.  And 
the default build for vim uses the GTK1 libraries, and that's getting 
kinda dated.

But, it's not a bad deal, one way or the other.  Just a suggestion.
