Going from linux vim to Macvim?

Hi,

I'll be using a macbook air fairly often, and I'm completely new to the
Mac environment. I'm used to using Gvim in Ubuntu. The first thing
I noticed is that I have two command keys on either side of space
bar, and a control key tucked away on the left side. I'm really used
to using ctrl key for shortcuts but I need it on both sides!

I googled a bit for this but I haven't found a way to make Macvim
remap all command key to control - other than manually defining
mappings with <D-> . What's the best way to deal with this?

The other issue is that when I :set macmeta , it seems to work
for my custom meta mappings, but it doesn't work reliably for
tabbar mappings that map meta-1 through 9 to buffers in 
tabbar. It seems to work a few times and then stops. No errors,
either.

Macvim also seems to have a limitation that disallows multiple
modifier keys in the same mapping.

Is it feasible to compile gtk vim in macos? What are the pro's
and con's?

Is there a guide for going from linux to macvim?

thanks!
