+ 10. Installing after building from sources
+ ==========================================
+ 
+ [provided by Michael Soyka]
+ 
+ After you've built the Vim binaries as described above, you're ready to
+ install Vim on your system.  However, if you've obtained the Vim sources
+ using Mercurial or by downloading them as a unix tar file, you must first 
+ create a "vim73" directory.  If you instead downloaded the sources as
+ zip files, you can skip this setup as the zip archives already have the
+ correct directory structure.  
+ 
+   A.  Create a Vim "runtime" subdirectory named "vim73"
+   -----------------------------------------------------
+   If you obtained your Vim sources as zip files, you can skip this step.  
+   Otherwise, continue reading.
+ 
+   Go to the directory that contains the Vim "src" and "runtime"
+   directories and create a new subdirectory named "vim73".  
+   
+   Copy the "runtime" files into "vim73":
+      copy runtime\* vim73
+ 
+   B.  Copy the new binaries into the "vim73" directory
+   ----------------------------------------------------
+   Regardless of how you installed the Vim sources, you need to copy the
+   new binaries you created above into "vim73":
+ 
+      copy src\*.exe vim73
+      copy src\GvimExt\gvimext.dll vim73
+      copy src\xxd\xxd.exe vim73
+ 
+   C.  Move the "vim73" directory into the Vim installation subdirectory
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+   Move the "vim73" subdirectory into the subdirectory where you want Vim
+   to be installed.  Typically, this subdirectory will be named "vim".  
+   If you already have a "vim73" subdirectory in "vim", delete it first
+   by running its unstal.exe program.  
+ 
+   D.  Install Vim
+   ---------------
+   "cd" to your Vim installation subdirectory "vim\vim73" and run the
+   "install.exe" program.  It will ask you a number of questions about
+   how you would like to have your Vim setup.  Among these are:
+   - You can tell it to write a "_vimrc" file with your preferences in the
+     parent directory.
+   - It can also install an "Edit with Vim" entry in the Windows Explorer
+     popup menu.
+   - You can have it create batch files, so that you can run Vim from the
+     console or in a shell.  You can select one of the directories in your
+     PATH or add the directory to PATH using the Windows Control Panel.  
+   - Create entries for Vim on the desktop and in the Start menu.
+ 
+ Happy Vimming!
