which TERM to use for vim?

Despite my problems with 'make install' for ncurses-4.1, 
I am able to compile vim-5.0p under gnuwin32 bash (this 
may be an anomaly; I can't tell).  Vim does not recognize 
the TERM value of 'linux', however, and gives only a few 
choices that it _does_ recognize, such as 'builtin_ansi' 
and 'builtin_dumb'.  What is the correct TERM to use for 
vim under gnuwin32 bash?

Anyone who has built Vim-5.0p under gnuwin32, please pass 
along what (if any) changes you had to make to the Makefile 
or the build procedure.

Thanks,

John
