Re: Vim addon manager with several folders for plugins

We don't officially support such. .vim files and plugins are small, thus
duplication is not an issue. Updating can be done by running git pull in
all git subdirectories:

for i in ~/.vim/vim-addons/*/.git; do
( cd $i/..; git pull )
done

or such assuming that most plugins are git based plugins anyway today.

The less official way is overwriting
let s:c['plugin_dir_by_name'] = get(s:c, 'plugin_dir_by_name', 'vam#DefaultPluginDirFromName')
function which could look in multiple "lib" dirs for addon names.
However some features such as completion or uninstall support will break
(see docs or comments).

The main reason why I will never support what you ask for is the 20% of
effort should yield 80% of value rule. Its too complex - I would not
have time to maintain it.

Another way would be writing a script symlinking system plugins into your
personal ~/.vim/vim-addons directory. VAM will not care about it if it
finds folders with the addon names it looking for. you can automate this
using a 3 line bash script, too.
