[Distutils] Where should 'scripts' go...

[David Ascher]

Currently, scripts go somewhere in the "Scripts" directory (e.g. on
Windows, something like C:\Python22\Scripts, on Unix somewhere in the
bin/ directory.

If people specify scripts that live in subdirectories in their source
tree, using current distutils, those then get placed in subdirectories
of the [bin|Scripts] directory.

To my mind, this is somewhat wrong, since I expect scripts (those things
which have a #! line, an executable bit set, etc.) to all be placed into
a single directory.  It means that I don't need to muck w/ my PATH if I
install a package that has a script.

Is my mind right or is my mind wrong?  I'll help fix distutils if I'm
right, and I'll fix ActivePython's current PPM behavior if I'm wrong. =)
