Of course both of these scripts could be easily modified to meet local =
needs.  The second script already had some customization hooks built in.

That is all true.  If you are maintaining a high traffic site (for which =
sa-compile would be useful) then you will probably be rolling your own =
maintenance scripts anyway.  But none of this is not a reason to not =
include something like these in the SA port.

Alternatively, if someone were sufficiently motived they could put =
together an SA utilities port that installs a number of maintenance =
scripts which a user can enable.

That is useful to know.

Thank you both for your help on getting me to maintain my system better.
