Ryan,

OK, looking in the ${FILESDIR} for vim, I see 273 files.  This, I think is a
little excessive to hold in portage.  For starters, are all of them needed?  And
if so, can we just package them into a tbz2 and throw that on the mirrors
instead, and just fetch it in SRC_URI?

Also, there's a tbz2 file in there, which should probably be on the mirrors as
well. Let's try and prune the portage tree, eh? :)

Thanks much.

I was going to add some more patches to vim anyways...  I've removed the old 
6.0.x patches since they are no longer used. 
 
I'll create a tbz2 for the patches as well.
