If you don't want to move the plugin scripts around, you could do
something like this...
find ~/.vim/plugins /usr/local/share/vim/vim72/plugin/ -iname
'*.vim'|xargs grep 'let[[:space:]]\+\(g:\)\?loaded_'
And start adding lines to the top of your .vimrc to set the various
g:loaded_<...> vars (to prevent the plugin from loading) until things
start working. Of course, you would need to use the path or paths
appropriate to your system. You might try checking only the
non-distributed plugins first, as the most likely candidates.
