There are some things I'd like to change in Compile and Scripts for
015 that may not be optimal to release before that.
First I'd like to change default behaviour of Compile to use
/System/Index. I know this is a big step, but I've had enought
headaches with applications looking for files inside it's own prefix
while it really should search global directories since the actual file
was installed by another application or library. Plugins is a good
example.
Another change is to move misc. scripts used for building from source,
like the sandboxes and prepareprogram, from Scripts to Compile. Users
that build from source should really use Compile and if they want to
manually build something they're advanced anough to install Compile to
do that. This is to reduce Scripts's dependency footprint as well as
cleaning up Scripts. Also having the sandboxes in Compile may be a
good idea once it changes to ChrootCompile behaviour.
A third change, which is very optional but which I think would be a
nice change, is to move "Functions" to share/bash/functions (or
similar) to make it more "normal". I'm pro FHS compability and such
change would mean that we're a little bit more comptible with other
systems.

The first two I believe we really should do, the last I thought that
we can do "while we're at it".
