Of course, either location will work fine with wget or curl, but this
is not about automation and build systems. This is about someone using
a graphical web browser, downloading the script, and following some
directions. The wiki inserts this HTTP header, which makes the browser
download instead of display it:

Content-disposition: inline;filename=build-melt.sh

But I guess this is a minor point. If the user cannot figure out how
to use Save As... or click Back and then right-click to download, then
they should not be attempting to use this build script.

I am OK to use github since you plan to add other scripts for the build server.
https://github.com/pez4brian/build-melt

as for v2 vs. v3 of build-melt.sh, I will take care of that in my fork
and send you a pull request. It fixes some things on OS X for the
nearly ready build agent.
