No, don't add dependencies for any editor.  We've already talked about
this once earlier with regard to other packages that call an editor.

Try the following in order:
VISUAL
EDITOR
vi
ae
Give up and ask the user to set VISUAL.

I don't really care in which order you try vi or ae, but I think you
should try both.
