Since the new user is not going to put the new stuff in their path,  
this ensures failure to capture.

I have no objection to keeping things in /usr/gnu and friends ... IFF  
the default PATH is hacked to have them show up first.

Otherwise, we're putting a ton of effort into a waste of time. If all  
we wanted to do is have Solaris out sooner, we have that already with  
Solaris Express.
