Yes, you're right.  We'll add a few dirs there.

Better not, there may be many dirs added then when we expand to (many) 
more menu entries, and some of these dirs may be empty.  Import + export 
could be in a converters/ dir and we could have generators/ (like your 
new teapot script :) ) and modifiers/, maybe.  A modules/ dir is also in 
the plans.

Also, we need a gui script to automate adding scripts to Blender: it 
will save the script in the right folder, modules in modules/ and data 
files in ../datadir/.  The script might support zipped packages and a 
simple text file with info there, like:

script.py
modules: mod1.py, mod2.py
datafiles: data1.txt, data2.txt

We can check where to put the executable script.py by looking at the 
"Group" line in the file.
