1) Copy them to your Script Menu folder (so you can leave your Vegas 4 version alone)
2) Open the newly copied script(s) in a program such as Notepad
3) Locate the line that reads:
import SonicFoundry.Vegas

and change it to read
import Sony.Vegas

4) See if it will now run.

The the vast majority of situations, that is all that is needed. Excalibur, Tsunami, and Neon were "a little more complicated" than that. Plus I wanted to easily get them installed in the proper location AND add the new pretty icons!

It would be nice if there was a "script" to load all of the scripts in a directory and make that change! It seems I've amassed a whole bunch of scripts that need editing!

I find this utterly amazing.
Apparently Sony preferred the name-change to the benefits of backward compatibility, while the SonicFoundry-name is only in the CODE of the script (which no normal user will ever see!) .
I can imagine that the old Sonic Foundry crew must have battled and lost to some higher management and marketing department (that probably also liked the perspective that customers are forced to upgrade for a nonsense reason when new scripts arise).
This is all very sad.
