They both exist in any x11-aware Vim provided that it has contact with
the X server: for instance, in a Vim executable compiled to serve as
either (console) vim and (GUI) gvim on Linux, and running in an xterm
or similar terminal window. It is even possible to compile Vim with
has("x11") but without has("gui"). On Windows, vim.exe and gvim.exe
are different executables, but there both "* and "+ refer to the
Windows clipboard, which is accessible even in Console mode IIRC.
