vim needs just perl-libs (at least on AC) --
$ rpm -q --qf '%-12{NAME}: %{SIZE}\n' perl-libs
perl-libs   : 1146552

afaik none.

the language bindings should be dynamic -- loaded at runtime if needed that 
would be sane solution :)

seems currently impossible as the code is full of #ifdef FEAT_<INTERPRETER>
