That's fine.  It's exactly what I used to build vim.

Maybe the term "extended character set support" was a bit clumsy.
What I meant was this:  The previous vim was built before all the
widechar and multibyte functionality was available in Cygwin 1.7.
The result was that vim was not able to convert files from one
charset to another, for instance, from iso-8859-1 to utf-8.  The new
vim can do that on the fly at load time now.
