* IF "sc" really is too short (noone reported that it conflicts any other
name), an obviously alternative would be seasc, which is the projects name
on sourceforge.
* The rpm.sc.template is 'invalid' as that is the file i use as template,
which will get CAT to makerpm's ~/rpmbuild/SPEC/sc.spec, and getting the
changlelog appended.
This procedure can be reviewed in $scDir/system/dev.sc which contains the
self-distributing code.
But since 'sc' is too short (it may, but does not yet) conflict other
things, there has to be another %{name} anyway.

The project is currently located in a folder named "sc-fedora" which could
be an alternative name either.
So either: ssc or scf (which i think already exists and therefore DOES
conflict), or something i dont want the users to type: script-collection.

Anything of this acceptable /negotiateable?
