There is a precompiled version in the cygwin setup.exe

vimplugin is set up to use that at the default location. If you compile
your own or have it at another location, you have to set it in the
preferences.

This is a true bug: It happens if the vim binary cannot be found, but
the plugin continues anyway sending commands to "null.stdin" . The
exception should be caught and an Error message should popup. Anyone?

Catch the exception, and let a popup appear with the error message
( method showMessage ).
