While we're moving them, the descriptions for shell and perl were archaic, referring to "bare-bones Porcelainish scripts" that have become powerful and essential. Signed-off-by: Brian Gernhardt --- Split from v1's 2/2 so the changes don't get confused with the re-order. I kept the shell and perl re-wordings here since they're also somewhat of a factual error instead of 3/3's additions.
