Well, the idea of vim-full was to provide as much compile time options
as possible. Has it been possible I would have compiler vim with support
for all GUIs, given that it is not possible and that the Gnome GUI is a
"superset" of the GTK one (that is: it uses both gtk and gnome) I went
for it.

After all, all current vim-{python,perl,...} are built with gtk gui,
people wanting gnome are doomed to live without any interpreter support.
With this change they could at least use vim-full.

Me too indeed. Probably most of the additional stuff is in separated
packages on which vim-full depend.

Cheers.
