[Mingw-msys] installing extra packages (vim)

["Caleb Cushing" <xenoterracide@xxxxxxxxx>]

trying to install vim from the downloads page. it's a tarball. I'm not sure where/how I should extract it so it just works. I tried extracting it in /bin but that didn't work. what directory should I extract these too?
