Bug#444009: Vim with language plugins (python, ruby, perl, tcl) requires X11.

[Benjamin A'Lee]

Package: vim
Version: 1:7.1-056+2
Severity: wishlist

Would it be possible for versions of vim-{python,ruby,perl,tcl,full} to be
built without GUI support? Currently, if I want the Ruby interpreter
support on a headless server, it's necessary to install 40+MB of X11/GTK+
and related libraries that will never be used.
