I have found some pre-built binaries for VIM 7 for Mac OS X but

it?
Any links for this?
It seems like just "make" works but this installs the app in
/Applications/Vim.app/ which is quite different then what I expected.
When I start this application it is like it's own application. It
isn't just running inside Terminal.
Thanks,

I think you're downloading the Vim GUI application designed for Mac OS
X. To update your terminal-only version (ie /usr/bin/vim) I think you'll
be okay just downloading the Vim 7.0 sources from vim.org that isn't
platform dependent. The underlying Unix part of OS X is just FreeBSD I
think so the same source package that'll compile on FreeBSD will
probably also do so on OS X. I'm just new to OS X as of a week ago so I
could be wrong ;-)
