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.
