Sorry, but my vimpluginloader is a library for developers. It does not fetch
anything neither itself nor with vim-addon-manager, but is able to source
runtime dependencies when they are required (that is why it is pluginloader).
The prefered form of installing is vim-addon-manager, package on vim.org
contains all dependencies bundled in one tar and so you will have to resolve
conflicts every time you will try to install two different my plugins from
vim.org.
