Ah; sorry, I misunderstood.  That will take a bit longer.  I've never
compiled Vim for native Windows.  I don't know if *anybody* has
compiled the ECL extensions for native Windows.  Some interesting bugs
may fall out.  :)  But hopefully not.

Bummer.  I basically use Cygwin to transform my Windows laptop, as
much as possible, into a clone of my Linux box: X, xterms, zsh,
(g)vim, etc.  So our usage patterns are pretty different.  But we'll
do what we can.
