Hi,
I am the author of that wiki tip. It needs to be updated for Vim 7.3.
Extra files are no longer a separate download, everything is included
in one archive.
You just download Vim sources for PC from
ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/vim73src.zip
and you have everything to compile gvim.exe and vim.exe on Windows.

You can also use ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unix/vim-7.3.tar.bz2

Also, installer from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/
(gVim one-click installer for Windows) has Vim compiled against Python
2.6 according to latest release note.
