Built-in support for zlib would be better of course. Anyway, I'd suggest to restrict the above list to OSS. See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_archivers It should also be mentioned that many programming languages have support for zlib in their standard library[1]. At least with ruby, handling gz compressed files is rather trivial (see e.g. [2]). Maybe vim's own gzip plugin could be augmented with methods that use compiled-in ruby/python on windows? This would probably require that users can express their preference in a global configuration variable, e.g. g:gzip_method = "external" (= the current behaviour) | "ruby" | "python" | ... Just an idea.
