Subject: [gentoo-dev] new local USE var: vim-with-x

1 Some people want /usr/bin/vim linked against X. Some people think
2 that's a bug. There are decent arguments either direction. See bugs
3 19115 and 20093 for some discussion.

5 Now you can have it either way...

7 emerge vim # does not link against X libs
8
9 USE=vim-with-x emerge vim # links against X, might emerge xfree

11 I left the default to refrain from linking against X because I figure
12 most users aren't hardcore vimmers and aren't going to care. In that
13 case, linking against the X libs is likely to cause them trouble rather
14 than ease it. But for those users that want the support, it's there.
