[Bf-committers] scons/install stale files problem.

[Campbell Barton]

On linux we do - ~/.blender/scripts, perhaps the same should be done
on all OS's, nevertheless, users can set their own scripts folder if
they want.
I also don't see this so much as a user issue (ofcourse you cant
remove a users scripts without asking), this is a problem with
compiling and re-distribution which should be kept predictable.

There are not that many scripts for 2.5 so now a good time to get
users who also compile out of the habit of storing their own scripts
in the install dir :)
