Would it be a problem to let the ebuild of sudo use:

--with-editor=$EDITOR

when configuring?

Now visudo defaults to /usr/bin/vi even if you use another editor and has this specified in the $EDITOR variable (and maybe haven't got vi installed at all).


(not to be confused with the --with-env-editor which may be a security risk)
