Vim is a virtually compatible, extremely enhanced, version of the UNIX
text editor vi.
There are a lot of enhancements above Vi: multi level undo, multi-windows
and buffers, syntax highlighting, command line editing, filename completion,
on-line help, visual selection, etc..
Many features above standard vi's have been added:
multiple windows and buffers, multi level undo, command line history,
filename completion, selection highlighting, block operations (including
column/rectangular blocks), syntax highlighting, on-line help, etc.
Embeded Perl, Tcl, and Python support.
See ":help vi_diff" for a summary of the differences between Vim and Vi.
An X-windows aware or a full X-windows GUI version can also be built
that allows full use of the mouse and pull-down menus
See http://www.vim.org/why.html for a full explanation of Vim's features.
Portability to all UNIX platforms, AmigaOS, Archimedes, Atari MiNT, BeOS,
M$-DOS, MacOS, OS/2, VMS, WinNT+Win95.

Remove check for static gravity. Bump the PORTREVISION. It fixes the annoy
message when run vim in GTK+2 like this:
** (gvim:32022): CRITICAL **: gtk_form_set_static_gravity: assertion
`static_gravity_supported' failed

For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.
Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

I shouldn't have been removing `gvim' from the non-GUI PLIST. Also make the
gvim link relative rather than absolute, in case someone specifies a different
prefix when installing the package. Note there are some burned in paths in
the vim binary, but there is no reason to totally make this not work, when it
could somewhat.
Change motif to a normal dependency. REQUIRES_MOTIF is now called USE_MOTIF
and generates a LIB_DEPENDS to x11-toolkits/open-motif. As before, it implies
USE_XPM (and therefore USE_XLIB). Motif-dummy is removed from
PKG_IGNORE_DEPENDS, whose sole resident is now XFree86-3.
Change PKGDIR from pkg/ to . Also fix places where ${PKGDIR} is spelled out
(many of which are ${PKGDIR}/MESSAGE -> ${PKGMESSAGE} type fixes that
shouldn't have been necessary) and the string "/pkg/" appear.
