Option 1 is correct -- create an App::pltvectors module which is indexable
and installable.  However, it doesn't need to be an empty package -- not
only can it contain documentation for your script, but it could also
contain most of the functionality from the script as well, turning the
script into a wrapper that calls the module. That also allows others to
make use of the code in their own scripts.
