Support for script-files

[petrprikryl]

Hi, are there any plans for script-files support like in setuptools tool.setuptools.script-files? E.g. for shell scripts.

Maybe useful:

• https://docs.python.org/3.11/distutils/setupscript.html#installing-scripts
• https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/2310

@konstin -- Would this be part of the build backend work (eventually), or is it separate?

Yes, adding scripts is part of the build backend configuration (there is a dedicated scripts folder in wheels).
