That is very tidy, not "mess". The vim from mercurial will compile
and install to /usr/local, which do not mess with system at all.

In ubuntu, you need the following 5 command:

sudo apt-get install mercurial
sudo apt-get build-dep vim
hg clone https://vim.googlecode.com/hg/ vimhg
cd vimhg
make
sudo make install

okay, everything should work then, if you want gvim.

if you need command line vim you may want to do
sudo update-alternatives
to install your /usr/local/bin/vim as the default alternatives of vi,
vim and editor.
