I would have rather of used the native version.  I provided it mainly to 
handle the default editor.  I myself use the prebuild from vim.org of 
gvim. I start it with the following script.

<script file="/usr/local/bin/gvim">
#!/bin/sh
start /opt/Vim/Vim61/gvim.exe "$@"
</script>

This script frees stdio and translates the POSIX paths to Windows format.
