OK, so busybox, toybox and vim all provide "xxd" and busybox/toybox
setup u-a with their normal method.  With what vim has (today and also
with this patch) we end up with /usr/bin/xxd.vim, which is what we want.
I inspected the ipk for that, and then putting all 3 in
core-image-minimal looks sane too.
