I tried with vim instead of gvim and with the -esS build.vim arguments.
While it is true I no longer get the window, now vim exits with the
return code 2 and I get no vimball built.

I suspect vim no longer loads plugins with the above switches, so my
%MkVimball vcscommand-repack
command no longer works.ā
