Aha! Well, gvim for Cygwin (to be run with the Cygwin DLL) is meant to
be used under X11, which is not very practical on Windows. OTOH, Vim can
also be compiled _on_ Cygwin (or MinGW) _for_ native Windows using the
src/make_cyg.mak (or src/make_ming.mak) makefile: such executables run
on any Windows system with no need for either X11 or the Cygwin DLL at
run-time. IIUC, "Vim without Cream"
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/Vim/ is compiled in that
way; as of this writing, its latest version is a 7.4.27 compiled
2013-09-19. For comparison, the very latest patchlevel published by Bram
Wednesday -day before yesterday- is 7.4.50, and you'll find a
single-line summary of every 7.4 patchlevel at
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.4/README (or by FTP at the same
address).


Best regards,
Tony.
