++ for perl, but can you explain the benefits of compiling your own vim instead of just using the self-installing executable for Windows? It's worked quite well for me for years.

The svn source code has the latest patches (currently about 145). As an example of a bug that has been fixed, here's a bug in the released vim that is fixed in a recent patch: `gvim -u NONE -U NONE --noplugin open a file with lots of lines ggyG :set more :perl VIM::Msg(VIM::Eval('@"')) Bug: At the more prompt q, <esc>, ^C do not work. NOTE: more from echo @" works as before` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
