Yeah, see we can't really do that because /usr/bin/vi is already there |
| 10 |
on*BSD systems. Plus, there's no need to install a /usr/bin/vi.vim, |
| 11 |
just a /usr/bin/vim . |

Anyway, I think I've thought of a way to do all this trivially with very |
| 14 |
little in the way of code and changes. Just a few files and a few |
| 15 |
symlinks, kinda like alternatives but more suited for a Gentoo |
| 16 |
environment. If it still looks like a good idea when I've got more |
| 17 |
caffeine than alcohol in my blood then I'll elaborate :) |
