 * But that would suck when what you're trying to do is get /usr/dt/lib
 * (CDE's default path) in there - you've got something in
 * /usr/{local,X11R6}/etc/rc.d/foo.sh adding to the search path something
 * completely outside that hierarchy?  Bleah!

What's the big deal?  They are adding a whole bunch of stuff to
/usr/X11R6 (and last time I checked, /usr/X386) too anyway.  Nobody
said /usr/{local,X11R6}/etc/rc.d/foo.sh can't add to a search path to
something outside that hierarchy.

What I'm concerned most is that the requests from XiG people always
seem to go directly to a few individuals, who then add it to the list
without consent of (or in the case of /var/mail permissions or
/etc/ld.so.conf, despite objection of) the other committers.  That way
they may get some things done their way, but have also pissed off a
few people who are not going to spread any good words for them.
