As it stands, to configure Vim with only some features enabled, one can enable a normal build, then enable additional features using the --enable-<feature> configure options or -DFEAT_<feature> compiler flags. However, it doesn't work to enable a huge build, then disable unwanted features because not all features enabled by the huge build can be disabled (e.g. keymap). If this proposal is accepted, some work will need to be done to the configure script and to feature.h to allow all features to be enabled or disabled according to the user's preferences.
