However, if there's a plugin involved, it can have multiple GetLatestVimScripts lines with (plugin-author determined) :AutoInstall: qualifiers. Align.vim has two such lines itself (Align.vim and cecutil.vim).
Vimballs themselves aren't much more than concatenations of the requested files (there's a bit of path and file size information, too). Vimball users get auto-helptags and the ability to remove vimball-generated output (except possibly for directories -- which I'm mulling over).
