The filename doesn't change; what may change (on Windows, not on Unix)
is the name of the directory containing it; though it only changes at a
version change (i.e., it won't change until Vim 7.3 alpha comes out).
However if you keep the directory containing the Vim executable in the
PATH, you can start it without a path name. Just make sure (if you have
several versions installed) that the executable you want to launch by
default is the first one of that name in the PATH.
Best regards,
Tony.
