My suggestion is to use the pre-built, non-GUI, cygwin version of vim
from:

    http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/vim-5.6/index.html

Add export VIM=/usr/local/share/vim to your .bashrc.

You should create ~/.vimrc (can be empty); otherwise, vim defaults to
vi mode and will not autosense file types.  This can lead to spurious
^Ms in your files...
