Below is a summary of the features lost from the current vim.tiny vs the
new one I built that didn't forcefully define various features:

+autocmd, +byte_offset, +cmdline_compl, +cmdline_info, +comments, +diff,
+digraphs, +eval, +ex_extra, +extra_search, +file_in_path, +folding,
+insert_expand, +libcall, +listcmds, +quickfix, +scrollbind,
+smartindent, +textobjects, +user_commands, +vertsplit, +visualextra,
+viminfo

Of those, +diff, +folding, and +scrollbind (the latter two simply
because they go with +diff) are the only significant losses for
vim.tiny's target use, IMHO.  +listcmds would be nice, but people can
still switch to different files with the args list.  This also cuts down
the size of vim.tiny by about 400KB.
