Doesn't it install a whole new Vim? Where you used to just do the
binaries for the Vim app itself?

I used to compile only the binaries, yes, and that meant the runtimes were
always out-of-date. Steve takes the trouble of downloading the latest runtime
files whenever he compiles a new set of binaries, and he packages them
together. That means that if, for instance, Dr. Chip has upgraded his netrw
package (and Bram has uploaded the new version), you get the upgrade together
with Steve's distribution. Ditto for changes in the help. I used not to do
that, or only rarely. Steve's distributions are in many ways "better" than
mine used to be.

Eggnog is a traditional holiday drink invented by the English. Many
people wonder where the word "eggnog" comes from. The first syllable
comes from the English word "egg", meaning "egg". I don't know where
the "nog" comes from.
To make eggnog, you'll need rum, whiskey, wine gin and, if they are in
season, eggs...
