You can choose the directory where vimball installs the files.
It defaults to ~/.vim. The default of vim-addon-manager is to use a
different directory for each plugin.

So this behaviour could be fixed easily.

Side note: vim-addon-manager also tracks dependencies for you. I wrote
it to make sharing code and depend on existing code easier. You may want
to give it a try.
