I think it is because gvim for unix requires X11 while vim does not. 
I use and installed the gvim for windows and run it from with rxvt terminals in
cygwin and it works fine. The only problem I had was that it would not orginally
accept unix style pathnames (forward slashes). I had to put in an add on
packaage to get the pathnames to work right. If you are interested I will look
up what that package was.
