Steps 1 to 3 above will give you the unpatched 7.3.0 source. The current
"stable" Vim is 7.3.107.

I recommend running configure by having make invoke it (and setting
configure options by means of environment variables) because in some
cases make will decide to run configure again. If your options are not
set in the environment you'll get the default settings for that "second"
run of configure.

See:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_the_Vim_source_with_Mercurial
about getting the latest "official" sources, and
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm
about compiling Vim on Unix/Linux. (Some parts of the latter are made
obsolete by the former.)

Best regards,
Tony.
