I don't see how that would be an improvement over leaving them in the
scripts directory (which, btw, doesn't bother me a bit).

Migration to the library is likely counterproductive unless the code is
rewritten to *be* a library.  Like ndiff was extensively refactored by two
people (me and David Goodger), over two release cycles, to restructure it as
a collection of reusable classes and functions.  Even so, a much smaller
ndiff.py *still* lives in the scripts directory, because the specific
application of these algorithms-- and cmdline interface --it supplies don't
make sense in a general library module.
