Bloat that vi binary! ;-) >AAAARRRGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I believe we'd better have very plain configuration (yes, no perl, no tcl) in /usr/bin/vi , and have ports directory for vi + tcl/perl. editors/nvi should be a good starting point. NOTE: editors/nvi includes multilingual extension, which is incompatible with compiled-in tcl/perl. itojun
