I plan to switch to vim 7.3 in the next days on my windows box - linux will soon follow. I also plan to switch my vim setup and let pathogen handle my plugins. I've googled but not yet found a solution how to handle plugins using vimball technique for setup. Any hints?

A vimball is a ViM-readable archive format that holds the plugin files and commands to install them. A plugin downloaded as a Vimball typically has a file extension of . vba or . vimball, say Foobar. vba .
vim is a plugin that wraps the command-line fuzzy finder program fzf, allowing you to use it directly within Vim. Fzf is a fast and portable fuzzy finder application written in Go. It is a requirement for the Vim plugin, so make sure you install it first.
vim-pathogen is a runtimepath manager created by Tim Pope to make it easy to install plugins and runtime files in their own private directories.

Open the vimball up with vim. Instead of sourcing it with :so % do
$ vim somthing.vba :!mkdir ~/.vim/bundle/bundle-dir-name-here :UseVimball ~/.vim/bundle/bundle-dir-name-here Note you will have to make sure the path exists before you execute this command.
