7zip[1], which is GPL licensed, handles all formats well.
The point was though that vimballs cannot readily include binary data
which isn't all wrong I think.

"installing" zip-based plugins basically is a matter of
exec '!unzip '. shellescape(expand('%')) .' -d ~/vimfile

If you wanted to create vimballs from cygwin bash by calling Windows
gvim (you could of course use cygwin's vim but ...), you'd have to
convert the path which works most of the time but can be cumbersome.
But thanks for reminding me

There's been one problem with that -- 7.0 vimball doesn't handle the later
vimball versions. 7.1 and has been compatible; newer

Hi folks,
Maybe somebody has some use for this. I wrote a small ruby script that
allows the creation of vimballs (plain text or gzipped) from the
command line. It's still young and fresh and experimental. I ran it
over my own plugins and the generated vimballs are identical to those
created by vi
