I'm not sure if I agree. SharedSupport is meant for extra support  
(re)sources that are not needed for the app to run (the built-in  
version of Application Support). MacOS seems to me more to be meant  
for executables used by the app.

Sure, but for users who don't have programming skills it may be easy  
to have some easy to use executables to use for this purpose. That was  
my idea. It could also be a couple of scripts for common RSS posts.
