Raspbian and Ubuntu install vim.tiny and vi.basic executables and then use alternatives to avoid the conflict. I don't very little about alternatives, but I guess something similar must be possible on cygwin as well. Install them as vim.tiny.exe and vim.basic.exe (or whatever the right name is) and add a postinstall script to vim-minimal and update the existing postinstall script for vim. The /etc/postinstall/vim.sh.done currently on my system uses update-alternatives and refers to /usr/bin/vim-nox.exe but that is not in /usr/bin. The postinstall of vim.common refers to vim-nox.exe as well. And I assume the order of running the postinstall scripts is important. Regards, Frank
