That should be "any scripts..." not just "scripts", no?

Also, I've never been sure what "control" means in this context. Given that
"perform" is probably broad enough to completely encompass "control," and
given how comprehensive the list of tasks is now (it's arguably impossible
to "perform" a build without some form of control) I'd be inclined to
replace "control and perform" with simply "perform," or else give a more
specific definition of "control" (e.g, by reference to configuration files.)
