I do not install vim anywhere and everything works fine. In order to have it 
working without installing anywhere I set up an alias:
  alias VimBeta="VIMRUNTIME=$HOME/tmp/vim/vim/runtime $HOME/tmp/vim/vim/src/vim"
Mercurial vim repository was cloned into $HOME/tmp/vim/vim and everything works 
fine, so do not listen these people.
