I heartily disagree with that statement.

I'm not altogether convinced that Cygwin's Vim _needs_ to include the
Perl interface, but then again, I usually have Perl installed anyway,
so the extra HD space is comprised of stuff I need.

If all one needs is an up-to-date build of Vim on a Windows box, I
recommend looking at Cream - which is a dumbed-down Vim for noobs.
The maintainer of this project also provides pre-packaged Windows
builds of vanilla Vim that are more up-to-date than what can be had
from www.vim.org.  This will set you back a few tens of megabytes.
