Hi,

I don't think we should try to support people installing scripts there
and try to make the build systems clever about this. These really are
just standard building rules, don't work in directories or files that
are autogenerated by the build system because any changes will get
overwritten. If anyone wants to make this kind of unsupported usage
more convenient I guess they can, but more important in my opinion is
fixing the problem of outdated scripts, and getting loading scripts
from the user directory to work properly.

Loading from the user directory seems to be suboptimal on Windows
right now, the expected directory is this.
C:\Documents and Settings\User\.blender\scripts

That can be changed to this, and the folder can be created
automatically on startup to make things easier.
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Blender Foundation\Blender\scripts

Brecht.
