As you have most likely noticed by now, it stopped at 7.0.214, which is 
the "minor" version of vim.  Actually it's a patch version.  vim applies a 
series of patches to the original source instead of constantly releasing a 
large file including all the source.

It makes patching fairly easy and saves some bandwidth for them.  Just let it 
run... it will get them all and your build will complete.
