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.
