Yes there should/will be, but that stuff isn't in the current script and
that's where I've got to start with right now. I cannot start with new
features or bug requests (well, big bugs anyway) until the dust settles
from the reorg. Otherwise things might get lost/forgotten.

If/when hardware detection becomes feasable, then yes there will be a
"module" where all the scripts will go, but right now, that module doesn't
exist.
