What about background compilation ? Your program can be compiled in background while you will still be able to do whatever you whish in vim. This topic has been discussed a few months ago. So far I know two scripts able to acheive background compilation from vim. I'm maintening one of them [1]. The result consists in a perl script (which means perl is required, as well vim compiled to support remote invocation through |+clientserver|) and a few VimL functions maintened in a plugin that is still in alpha stage (the plugin does many more things related to the management of compilation chains).
