OK, progress report.  I've created a new installer:

    bin/vim-ruby-install.rb

If you download a tarball, you can install the config files with

    ruby bin/vim-ruby-install.rb

This properly (I think) handles line endings, of which Vim is very
sensitive, and file permissions.

Better yet, I'm going to release this package as a gem, so you can do

    gem install --remote vim-ruby
    vim-ruby-install.rb

The gem will be versioned with the date, like 2004.09.20.

It's all in CVS, but I need to update the README and have run out of
time tonight.  Feel free to have a go, though:

    rake package
    gem install etc/packages/vim-ruby-2004.09.xx.gem
    vim-ruby-install.rb

Cheers,
Gavin

P.S. Here's the ChangeLog entry:
