Installer and file etiquette

Greetings all!

I'm writing an AppleScript Studio app that takes advantage of Apple's
Speech Recognition system. I have two scripts separate from my app that
will be installed into the Speakable Items folder (for various reasons, I
want the functionality they offer to be made available at a system-wide
level, not just when my application is in the foreground). This works
well, but I'm concerned about the fact that if a user ever wants to remove
my application, those scripts would be left behind.

My question is: what is proper installation etiquette here? Should I
include a de-installer with my program, or is there a better solution? Or
is there a way to do this that would automatically remove the two scripts
I installed from the ``speakable items'' folder when a user removed the
program?

Thanks for your help!

Sincerely,
Mark
