That may or may not work; you can tell them HOW to make the script,
but some things are going to HAVE to be done by the user. E.G., in
ADoomPPC, I tell the user how to make the script, but if I provided
one, they'd still have to edit it to set the drive paths and options.
If I provided one, the user PROBABLY wouldn't bother reading the docs
and complain when the default script failed. Better to make them read
the docs and then make their own. Trust me, I speak from long
experience here.
