You can add a short (no more than 1 line) comment to vim's Makefile,
immediately before VERSION, reminding that this needs a bump. As a failsafe
for the runtime path, you could set a build dependency on vim->=7.4,<7.5
though this doesn't help MODRUBY_REV.

vim-*-ruby:editors/vim,no_x11,ruby

first part "vim-*-ruby" is used to match; if not present then the user
will have a choice but no_x11,ruby will be the default. If the user has
an existing flavour without ruby, they get to fix that themselves.

I don't have the original mail with the attachment any more and no
time to dig list archives.
