Thank you for this; I was wondering: does building with MinGW change GVim
into a GNU-ish application? Can I still use paths like
"c:\test\some\file.txt"? While I use the forward slash almost exclusively,
it is nice to occasionally be able to take a file path someone else gave me
and just :e or :sp it.

It might be time to get MinGW (already have Cygwin and very pleased with
it).

Thank you,

Salman
