I've already been thinking about setting PATH to some fixed default,
especially to solve the problems people may have when /usr/local/bin is
before /usr/bin for example (and as is in this example).

Hmmm... is forcing `.orig' as the suffix not against POLA? I mean, if
someone has SIMPLE_BACKUP_PREFIX in his/her environment, then he/she
expects to find a backup file with that prefix. The makefile can easily
be rewritten as (with cut-n-paste corruption):
