FWIW, setup supports hardlinks in binary tarballs, and does the right
thing w.r.t. copying, etc, when needed.

Since I'm replying here anyway, the patches I mentioned are attached
(along with the new icon).  The icon is useful for a VIm shortcut
(essentially "run rxvt -e vim") -- yes, I know I could use a separate icon
file, but this is easier, and this vim icon is otherwise only available as
part of the VIm source.
