We really need to decide if disc1 is for servers or desktops. We've been
able to kind-of do both for a while now. But I think we're at the point
of having to make that hard decision.
Server guys really want vim-lite as it doesn't require X11. Desktop guys
really want vim so they get the GUI. Seriously we're only talking 2MB
here; how in the world much as KDE and GNOME bloatware pigged out since
5.1-RELEASE?

P.S. We could also easily trim 1MB from tools/. Many of these things are
MS-DOS utils from the 1990's.
