Well runtimeDependencies could be executable tools. That dependencies
attr only lists vim plugin names. We could flag derivations to be a vim
plugin and traverse the dependenciy tree (runtime/build dependencies),
but that would be more work (cpu wise) probably.

I notice that we can do the same for pathogen: install all dependencies,
thus the interface changed slightly to

pathogen.pluginNames = [...];
and
vim.pluginDictionaries = [..];

and vim-addon-nix will also install all depnedencies.
