Hm, the 7.3.035 source was released on October 24; the current
patchlevel is 7.3.237.

A more current version may or may not be available from Ubuntu, but you
can always compile one for yourself, it is not very difficult. The worse
hitch is getting all the necessary "development" packages, and I think
that on Ubuntu (but not on openSUSE which I use) there is some apt-get
build-dep command for that.

By default, the own-compiled version will put its executable in
/usr/local/bin, its runtime files in /usr/local/share/vim/vim73, and
look for additional runtime files (if any) in
/usr/local/share/vim/vimfiles and ~/.vim (plus, of course, ~/.vimrc and,
for the GUI, also ~/.gvimrc), which means the following:

- The Ubuntu Vim is not removed, but yours comes before it in the $PATH;
- The Ubuntu runtime files from October 2010 are not removed either, but
your new Vim doesn't use them, it comes with its own up-to-date runtime
files, installed at a different location;
- Your own .vimrc, .gvimrc, and .vim/anything are still used just like
before.
