There are a couple of misunderstandings here.
Many distributions offer a vim compiled with the X11 feature. The
name of the package may not make that clear. For example, in
Ubuntu, you would install the vim-gtk package. That would install
_one_ vim binary that is linked to several names, including vim and
gvim. The user can use vim or gvim as they choose--it's one binary
that runs with a GUI or a terminal interface depending on the name
by which it is invoked.
Alternatively, if you have a gvim on your system, you can create
a link to it named vim like this:
ln -s /usr/bin/gvim ~/bin/vim
as long as the directory containing the new vim link comes before
the directory containing your non-X11 vim in your PATH.
You could instead create an alias such as this:
alias vim='gvim -v'
Any of those will give you a vim with X11 enabled.

Yes, I know and I've already acknowledge it:

My point was that a user should be able to use the system clipboard,
via 'set clipboard=unnamedplus', _without_ installing gvim or
recompile vim.
