This "mismatch" between gvim and vim versions is a known issue.  It's being
worked on.  See the email archives for more details.

vim 6.4-4 is still available on mirrors (or should be).  It's just that setup
can only show you two versions, current and previous, and there are now 2
vim 7 versions.  However, you can still download vim 6.4-4 and install
it from your local directory.

Corinna, do you think it makes sense to set 6.4-4 as the previous version for
the interim so it is easily accessible via setup?
