The limitation is windows and trying to keep the bar for entry low.  The
original idea behind the script came from all the mailing list questions
about how to install, how to enable, etc and the realization that a lot of
people wanted it to "just work" without tinkering.  The downloads directory
is the baseline.  If you know how to modify the lua directory, then you can
add much more.  If you don't, then you have a place to put random scripts
you download.
