The reason neocomplete does it this way, AFAIK, is to avoid having too
many files in the top plugin directory. It's shared with all other
plugins.

For a package this problem does not exist. You can simply put all files
in the plugin directory:
pack/start/neo/plugin/
neocomplete.vim
buffer.vim
dictionary.vim
tag.vim

It saves a bit of time searching directories.

If someone sees a good reason to also search in subdirectories, let's
hear it.
