Hmm, I didn't know about it, but ... reading the documentation,
"bin_SCRIPTS" doesn't actually seem to do much of anything -- you
still have to add your own rules to handle all the actual work, need
to fiddle with EXTRA_DIST and CLEANFILES, etc.  Indeed, doing what I
did (putting the script in bin_PROGRAMS and adding a rule to build it)
actually seems _easier_, as automake will do more automatically, and
there's less to keep track of for the programmer....
