Let's rephrase it: as nvi needs to link to perl, and we do not have a  
perl in the base since a loooong time, surely nobody was using the  
stock basesystem-nvi with the perl (and tcl) interpreter. As we also  
will not import perl/tcl into the basesystem again (at least not in  
the foreseable future), the code is useless for our basesystem.  
Whoever wants a vi with with such an interpreter, needs to compile one  
himself anyway and there are enough alternatives in the ports.

Bye,
Alexander.
