Couldn't you ship a several already compiled binaries for major OSes? What do you do during compilation (and do you have to do this during compilation instead of on runtime) that makes it impossible?

I'm not using VIM anymore, so the question is just at out of curiosity :)

Indeed, and if it's about saving on duplicating libraries, that's less important to me than saving on installation time. I don't care if it loads up 20 megs of duplicated libraries because you had to hard-link them in. I have loads of RAM, very little time to set things up.

Yet lots of time to comment on HackerNews... ;-)

Writing a comment on HN takes me 30s-2m tops. Going on a yak shaving expedition can swallow up hours.

Anyone know of a tool or system out there that automates the creation of binaries for several systems and then adds them to a key-value file with arch : binary_file_name pairs that can be consumed by an install script or curl pipe to shell install.
