While pondering a +1 for tmux in the base system, I realised that the  
first thing I install is bash and vim, but the existing tools are  
suitable for booting a system. Another argument against including it  
is compilation time: It takes more than 10 seconds to compile tmux (I  
expected it to be 1 source file to be compiled, silly me) on my  
Hamster-powered (tm) server, so it would add a  significant of  
overhead to buildworld.

Our package system is a tremendous asset, and wholeheartedly agree  
with Doug on this. So my vote is now a -1. Not that anyone cares.

P.S.: I've added 'tmux' to the default packages of our nanobsd image  
build system. Thanks for the suggestion!
