Today this is "unofficial" as conf/scripts, but some people
want to share scripts across different nodes and so on. Because
they cannot configure it, they are forced to use dirty hacks
like symbolic links, which isnt going to work: we aren't going
to recursively scan conf/ and add permissions to all link targets
underneath it, thats crazy.
I really hate adding yet another configuration knob here, but
users resorting to using symlinks are going to be frustrated,
and do things in a more insecure way.
