The port does not install /usr/local/share/vim/vim70/evim.vim with the
no_x11 FLAVOR. The diff below reverses this, and *appears* to work
(NOTE: this is against -current; it might apply to -stable, or not, but
the idea should be obvious).
I personally don't see why these files shouldn't be installed on the
no_x11 flavor - evim.vim is actually useful, and the other two might be.
And it's not like vim is lightweight, anyway - saving three files
doesn't seem very useful...
But maybe there's a good reason why this was done the way it is? I CC'ed
the maintainer, maybe he'll find the time to respond...
If this works for you, and Chris (= the maintainer) doesn't respond
soonish telling us why this was done in this way, please let us know.
