This is just the metadata. I would assume that the
console-scripts/gui-scripts entry pointdefinitions in setuptools would be
extracted and put into the scripts metadata, and any non-script entry
points would go into exports. The legacy scripts= arguments would also go
into scripts.

Nick - How would the 2 methods of specifying scripts (legacy name of a
(potentially platform-specific) file, and setuptools module:function style
spec requiring wrapper generation) be recorded, under your approach?
