I wouldn't know a better place. But, if you consider to provide your plugin
cross-platform, you should notice that resources are at a different place on
Mac builds.
You should definitely use $$IDE_DATA_PATH/myplugin/scripts
and in you plugin sources Core::ICore::instance()->resourcePath() +
QLatin1String("/myplugin/scripts")

INSTALLS creates an additional make target "make install". If you don't call
"make install" the files will not be copied. If you want to actually copy files
during the "make" step, you'll unfortunately need to do some fancy stuff,
similar to share/qtcreator/static.pro
/me wonders if we couldn't provide most of the stuff for this task as functions
in qtcreator.pri ?
