No, the point is that most of them ought to be converted into a
usable library module, whose __main__ is just a simple way to invoke
it.  Many existing library modules already have this: e.g. pdb,
profile, mimify, base64, etc.

If you're going to keep them *just* as scripts, then they should
remain in Tools.
