Build: use attributes to indicate installed script classes
We have two classes of scripts to be installed, those that are installed as "normal" programs, and those that are installed as "misc" scripts. These classes are installed in different locations, so the build file templates must pay attention. Because we didn't have the tools to indicate what scripts go where, we had these scripts hard coded in the build template files, with the maintenance issues that may cause. Now that we have attributes, those can be used to classify the installed scripts, and have the build file templates simply check the attributes to know what's what. Furthermore, the 'tsget.pl' script exists both as 'tsget.pl' and 'tsget', which is done by installing a symbolic link (or copy). This link name is now given through an attribute, which results in even less hard coding in the Unix Makefile template.
