I'm not aware of a better way short of identifying those scripts of interest
and modifying setup.py to install them in $PREFIX/bin.  In setup.py search
for "Tools/scripts" and modify the list.  Feel free to submit a patch to SF
if you think those scripts would be of broader interest and ought to be
installed by default.
