The reason why there are two files is that in the new tds the scripts are now in a separate branch of the tree (scripts); in order to keep some downward compatibility (also with respect to expectations) i put two copies in the tree; the one in scripts will go away next year

(btw, you can use textools to move files to the new locations)
