For the lack of reaction for a long time, due to whatever reasons, I
will simply propose that we go the way of vim and vim-full.

'mc-full' will have many more dependencies than our current 'mc' and
should in the end be fully functional, while 'mc' will still complain
about missing features. The description of mc-full shall reflect that
you get full functionality with this application variant.

Anyone who wants this, feel free to pick it up and fix the related bug.
