Now that I try it out, building the installer and running it, I find two
files that are obtained from the wrong directory:
File ..\vimtutor.bat
File ..\README.txt
These should use "..\" instead of ${VIMRT}. I'll make a patch for that.
When running the gvim that was just installed, I get this error:
libgcc_s.sjli-1.dll is missing
But after clicking OK twice, gvim starts anyway.
Looks like this comes from a MinGW built binary, but I build Vim with
MSVC, so why is it needed?

Q. What happens to programmers when they die?
A: MS-Windows programmers are reinstalled. C++ programmers become undefined,
anyone who refers to them will die as well. Java programmers reincarnate
after being garbage collected, unless they are in permgen, in which case
they become zombies. Zimbu programmers leave a stack trace that tells us
exactly where they died and how they got there.
