Rather than putting shell scripts in their own directory, how about keeping
around a `source' version of the script, just like we do for C programs?

For example, the `source' to svclog would be `svclog.sh' in the same
directory as the other SVC sources, and the install target of the makefile
would have:

	cp svclog.sh $(BIN)/svclog; chmod +x $(BIN)/svclog

or somesuch.
