I would prefer to make it clear that this is script is to be used in
place of a direct engine, with some checkbox somewhere. In fact, this
should be an alternative to latexmk. i.e. I am thinking of it as
having a checkbox that makes it clear to the user that they have
enabled a custom script or latexmk.pl, instead of the direct choices
on the top.

Also, I think that there is some %!TEX directive that users can use
to force the use of a particular "TeXShop engine" (i.e. what we cann
a custom script), which would be nice if we can respect in some way.

Maybe this setup would be more descriptive.  The text entry box would only be active if the checkbox was checked.

Oh it can? How? If that's the case, then of course it should be kept
separate.
