I would very much appreciate if the installer does everything that the
"old" MS-Windows installer does. Then we can finally get rid of the
consoles popping up.

The Gvim installer deserves some modernizing. But we still have people
working in a console, thus we need to be able to type "vim file" and
have the installed vim.exe executed. There might be something else that
a few users need.

We also need to make sure everything works under Windows 7. I ran into
some problems myself but haven't found time to look into it.
