It is of course "possible", since Vim is open-source; but is it worth the 
trouble? You can only do it by changing function "do_intro_line()" in 
version.c, (adding a modified_by config argument too) and recompiling Vim. For 
example, on a Unix-like system:

cd src
vim version.c
        G
        ?^static void do_intro_line\>
        " change what you want

# set any desired config parameters, then
export CONF_ARGS = "$CONF_ARGS [EMAIL PROTECTED]"

make reconfig >make.log 2>&1

ls -l vim

./vim --version

./vim

# etc.
