(Figured. Just had to check.)

(I think you mean 138 not 438.)

What are you trying to accomplish?

If you really just want to compile a clean version of 7.3.{latest},
what's wrong with just checking out the Mercurial repository? Why are
you going through the work of creating clean 7.3.{1 through 137} if
you're not going to use them? The following:

$ hg clone {path-to-repo} vim
$ cd vim
$ ./configure [options] && make (&& make install)

would get you a compiled version of Vim 7.3.{latest}.
