The distribution directory is named after the script name,
with a F<.d> attached.  The suffix is there only to avoid a
name conflict. You can rename it after the script is moved
into the directory.  If the directory already exists, the
script stops. You can either move or delete the directory
and start again.

=item * Look for template files

The program looks in F<.scriptdistrc> for files to copy into
the target script distribution directory. After that, it
adds more files unless they already exist (i.e. the script
found them in the template directory).  The script replaces
strings matching C<%%SCRIPTDIST_FOO%%> with the internal
value of FOO.  The defined values are currently SCRIPT, which
substitutes the script name, and VERSION, whose value is
currently hard-coded at '0.10'.

While looking for files, scriptdist skips directories named
F<CVS>, F<.git>, and F<.svn>.
