In the past few days I have removed tar and vim from the Haiku source
as they can now be added as optional packages.  Tar is now added in as
a Mandatory package, along with sed.  We talked about replacing vim
with nano, so I assume we should also now list nano as a Mandatory
package?  As part of fixing ticket 3345 [0] I'm looking at removing
ncurses as well, and setting it as a mandatory package as well.  Would
this be the preferred solution?
I'm also looking at ftp, I assume we're using tnftp [1]?
