I don't think any scripts/ subdir is needed. The split between scripts
and binaries usually serves no purpose, and makes ports from one to
the other type needlessly complicated. Most stuff should not even have
the .sh extension for the same reason, the kernel takes care of doing
the right thing starting up executable files.
