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.
