Personally, I'd like Perl support enabled, but adding a dependency on
Perl for such a basic package as vim is probably not a good idea.
Anyway, I'm sure that anyone who'd actually use the Perl interface in
vim is perfectrly capable of building their own copy.
- gvim with win32 interface (actually unsupported under Cygwin)
Now here's something I would love. :-)
On my Rainy Day list is a plan to try to make the Win32 GUI work with
the Cygwin (standard ./configure based) build. Should be possible, with
lots of #ifdefs and calls to cygwin_conv_*...
(Don't hold your breath - it's been on my list for aeons, and this list
isn't getting any shorter. ;-)
I think it "would be nice" (TM) if we could have a gui vim which worked
like rxvt, able to run in native w32api or under Cygwin/XFree86. Just
an idle thought...
Cheers,
Nicholas
