In the unpacked vim-6.3-1 source directory call

    ./configure \
	--enable-multibyte \
	--without-x \
	--enable-gui=no \
	--enable-pythoninterp

All but the last option are also set in the standard build.  Note that
the --enable-pythoninterp option is untested on Cygwin.  When configure
has finished, call `make' and `make install`.  Since all path related
options are unset, this will install your version of vim under /usr/local.
So it doesn't collide with the Cygwin installed vim.
