Personally, I'd like Perl support enabled, but adding a dependency on 
Perl for such a basic package as vim is probably not a good idea.  
Anyway, I'm sure that anyone who'd actually use the Perl interface in 
vim is perfectrly capable of building their own copy.

Now here's something I would love.  :-)

On my Rainy Day list is a plan to try to make the Win32 GUI work with 
the Cygwin (standard ./configure based) build.  Should be possible, with 
lots of #ifdefs and calls to cygwin_conv_*...
(Don't hold your breath - it's been on my list for aeons, and this list 
isn't getting any shorter.  ;-)
