Vimball appears to incorrectly extract source files on multiple OSs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Get conque 2.3.vmb
2. Install Conque as described by editing the .vmb, and executing so %.
3. Restart vim.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect Conque to be completely installed into ~/.vim/. However, I have now 
seen this fail on two completely different Linux installs: CentOS 5.3 with vim 
7.0.237 and Ubuntu 10.04 with vim 7.2.330.

On the CentOS set-up it was quite clear something had gone wrong with the 
install as several of the files installed into ~/.vim/ had corrupt file names 
(special characters were append at the end). On the Ubuntu system it was less 
obvious that the install was the issue. After manually fixing the file names on 
CentOS, both systems remained non-functional, this manifested in the ConqueTerm 
command and many g: variables being undefined (I got the the g: errors by 
manually source'ing ~/.vim/autoload/conque_term.vim and invoking 
conque_term#open("bash")).

Eventually I got things working by downloading the .tar.gz and manually 
extracting it. It looks as though several extra files were installed, 
particularly plugin/conque_term.vim.

I would suggest the install guide for Conque make it clear that vimball 
installation can be problematic (I guess particularly with older systems) and 
perhaps provide instructions on how to extract .tar.gz etc.
