If we're really doing this editor size contest thing, I'll submit my `ce'
editor. (ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/chet/ce-4.8.tar.gz). It's emacs-like, but
not particularly configurable, and the defaults, strangely enough, are
exactly what I like.

On my Mac OS X machine, it's about ten times smaller than vim

$ size /usr/local/bin/ce
__TEXT	__DATA	__OBJC	others	dec	hex
114688	339968	0	4295024640	4295479296	10007d000
$ size /usr/bin/vim
__TEXT	__DATA	__OBJC	others	dec	hex
1687552	176128	0	4295016448	4296880128	1001d3000

Similar numbers on RHEL 7, but due to the large bss, it's only about
45% smaller than vim.
