ae's vi attempt on boot disks stomps on real vi symlink

[Philip Hands <phil@hands.com>]

Hi,

Been doing some testing over the weekend and noticed that the vi replacement 
on the 1997-04-04 disks stays around after an install.  Clearly the fact that 
it is a file, stops the alternatives code from installing a symbolic link to 
one's favourite vi.

IMHO we were better of without this.  I'd rather have a script saying:

  vi doesn't fit on the boot disks, you'll have to put up with "ae"
  for the install.

The emulation is not close enough to real vi to make it worthwhile.

Cheers, Phil.
