I don't believe "all" is a good approach and cannot fathom why it would be
pursued.  One should *only* activate scripts that provide a wanted/needed
function.  Then test for compatability and deactivate if not compatible.

authors are noted in the lua script headers
as are some explanations of usage and requirements
