To be pedantic, there are three types of scripts; the above two,
plus scripts that are run by the end user.  Might it be worth
rearranging the dirs to be:
  scripts/
  scripts/build/
  scripts/user/
  scripts/mainter/
?  I'm not sure what we would really gain from this, though.  But
then again, I'm not sure what we really gain from separating
buildscripts/ from mainterscripts/.

Some people like Python a /lot/ more than makefiles?  ;)
