"installing" zip-based plugins basically is a matter of
exec '!unzip '. shellescape(expand('%')) .' -d ~/vimfiles'
:helptags ~/vimfiles/doc
IMHO reliance on compiled-in +python support would make things even
more complicate that relying on unzip being installed -- which maybe
could be even shipped with vim? BTW the zip plugin work quite well,
even when using bash under windows.
BTW maybe a vba (zip-based or not) could include some sort of manifest
file that includes not only a file list but also dependencies on other
plugins? These manifests could be saved in, eg, ~/vimfiles/vimballs/
manifests/ and be used for downloading the dependencies and for
removing vimfiles (AFAIK the uninstall info is currently saved in a
single file, which could cause minor conflicts when syncing vimfiles
directories between several computers). Just a thought.
