Do you want p.out.vrml or not? If it exists in any form (symlink,
script, copy, whatever), there should be an entry for it in the paint
section.

OTOH, if you want to kill of that section for good, simply don't
provide p.out.vrml in any form.

A full path is just wrong. If a symlink is created, it should contain
a simple filename with no path.

For the manual page, either copy the description.html file for the
underlying command to the script directory, or create a trivial, HTML
file which just says "this is an alias for <other module>".
