My main reason doing the build is that Vim Windows builds like the above don't include 3rd party dependencies(ruby, python, ...). You have to install them yourself. I needed ruby for some plugin and when I added it, the whole Vim process was crashing. There was also a case, when I downloaded some Vim build and it required Ruby version, which was not yet released at http://rubyinstaller.org/

This build includes these dependencies, so you don't need to copy any dlls from who knows where, etc ...

Also, I had to modify Vim and Ruby source code (not makefiles) to actually get them working properly.

When I started I thought it would be just a matter of compiling it all but it turned out to be quite long endeavour.
