Can use libcurl to fetch a page, parse it and do something if something 
has changed since last check.

Can be backup script or other stuff doing filesystem operations. I wrote 
a script converting a file from Dos ending to Mac ending. Can be nice to 
drag'n'drop such file to the script and make it do the conversion.
A script can use a GUI library and do stuff the Windows way.
Etc.

I don't say it is mandatory, and one can do shortcuts (links) for such 
tasks. But it can be useful and shouldn't be dispelled by a wave of hand.
