That is correct.

So my proposal would be then that we add a whole directory for you to  
contrib, and in that directory you put all the necessary files and  
instructions for installation.  Should we keep the .el file in contrib/ 
lisp, or would you rather have people install it only when they also  
dive in and install the scripts?  In the latter case it might be  
better to have it in your own directory.  If the former case, we can  
add it to contrib/lisp and even add an entry in org-modules, but then  
it will not (fully) work until the scripts have been installed.

Go ahead and send me the package to install, with full instructions, I  
will do what you decide is best.

Best wishes
