Installing VIM installs lots of other stuff

[Rick Patterson]

Hello.

I am wondering why installing VIm installs so many other things:  After doing a default install of Cgwin, and then not finding VIm, I added VIM to the install as well, but found it greatly increased my Cygwin install as follows.

Dependencies listed to be installed:

crypt
libdb4.5 
libgbdm4 
libopenssl100
libssp0
perl
vim-common
xxl

After  vi install:  439 M, 19349 files,   1941 folders
Before vi install:  275 M, 11602 files,    921 folders.
Change to get vim:  164 M,  7747 files,   1020 folders
%Change to get vim: +60%M,  66.7%files,  +110% folders

So, my Cygwin gets 60% bigger just to install VIm?
