Thanks for the clarification.

Except that the standard versioned directory structure also allows
users to put customizations for all users in /usr/share/vim/vimfiles
while the distributed files go in /usr/share/vim/vim<version>. I
don't see the advantage to changing vim's standard directory
structure. Also, I understand that Cygwin doesn't _support_ the
installation of multiple vim versions, but I don't see why it should
_disallow_ such installations.
