What I meant was the import menu in the GUI will not import a zip
file, only the .ovpn. When we add a smarter import option we'll have
to warn the user about
such scripts.

Also, I'm all for patches to improve --script-security handling as
well as for controlling scripts run by the GUI. I had tried but found
it to be beyond my foo to come with a decent way to do this.
