Hi everyone...

Felt like installing macvim... according to the internet, it would be as simple as 'brew install macvim'.

bash-3.2$ brew install macvim
macvim: A full installation of Xcode.app is required to compile this software.
Installing just the Command Line Tools is not sufficient.
Xcode can be installed from the App Store.
Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.

Oh, it wants the full XCode package, but I've just installed the CLI tools...   lets see if there is a binary package in Cask?

bash-3.2$ brew cask install macvim --override-system-vim

==> Symlinking App 'MacVim.app' to '/Users/admin/Applications/MacVim.app'
==> Symlinking Binary 'mvim' to '/usr/local/bin/mvim'
🍺  macvim staged at '/opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/macvim/7.4-77' (1906 files, 35M)

Bingo... thanks Cask folks!
