Thanks, Andrew. That was my question about the vimball approach. David makes 
the solution sound relatively simple, though I imagine that if I were to get 
down to work with it I would have more questions. VAM appeals for the same 
reasons as Pathogen plus others, e.g., automatic fetching and resolving of 
dependencies. 

I am not using VimOutliner at the moment, so the apparent conflict with at 
least Pathogen is not an issue.

Thanks for this suggestion. I take it git would be a way to do that. I 
understand it is not difficult to install, but actively using it would probably 
be a bit more of a challenge for me. I'm gonna hold off for the moment.
