useful scripts

[Frank Worsley <fworsley shaw ca>]

I've been trying to use terminals less often so I made myself these
useful scripts to do a 'make all', 'make clean' or 'make install' in the
current directory or the selected directories. I've attached them for
anyone who is interested.

Also, trying to use these scripts made me realize how much the Scripts
submenu sucks. ;)

Nautilus really needs a scripts sidebar or toolbar for easy access.
Maybe I will try and make one.

Cheers,
