I think it's a good idea to merge the interpreters support. But
concerning the gnome support I think it would be better to have a
seperate package with gnome support as I did in the vim 6.2 patch (e.g., 
gvim-gnome ?)

If I'm not mistaken, the vim gnome support adds mostly session
management (when you login all your vim windows you had open on the
previous logout appear in the same positions and the same files), which
is something really handy. But of course, to add a dependency on gnome
for the non-gnome users would be too much. Therefore two packages...

I'm also on vacations now but when I find time I'll do as suggested and
ask for a sponsor on mentors.

Thanks for your feedback.
