+Vim scripts can be used on any system.  There might not be a tar or gzip
+command.  If you want to pack files together and/or compress them the "zip"
+utility is recommended.
+
+For utmost portability use Vim itself to pack scripts together.  This can be
+done with the Vimball utility.  See |vimball|.
