Yeah, it is unfortunate how terribly documented they are. Not sure what you mean by difficult to distribute though. You either load the file from VimL or you embed the code in VimL. You distribute it like any Vim plugin.
The documentation for the interfaces serves as decent reference material. What is really lacking is a long tutorial on the subject that is in an easy to find place.

- Rayne 15y agoYeah, you've got me there.
