When I try to execute a <silent> command like ":silent !latex %" or such
from within a console vim, my vim display gets overwritten by the
display of the commanad. (I tested this using the console vim which
ships with cygwin) I then have to press <C-l> to get back... A newbie
might get into a total panic if something like that happens... With gvim
ofcourse, a seperate window is spawned... Doesn't this problem occur
with console vim's in *nix?

I haven't tried this in a long while... Let me see... No ":compiler tex"
doesn't seem to work. I haven't looked into this in a while. Maybe our
compiler/tex.vim needs to set some global variable so vim's compiler
doesn't overwrite ours... It looks like ":compiler tex" does source our
compiler/tex.vim but also vim's compiler/tex.vim...
