I used Vis a while back when the project was still in its infancy, but I
can't compile the current release without fetching tarballs manually
(which I have been too lazy to do). You're using libtermkey which is
dead according to the project's own page and no longer packaged by my
Linux distro (Debian) as a result, and at the same time, the project
requires Lua 5.2+ which is too new to be in the latest Debian release. I
find this to be an amusing juxtaposition.
