The big problem there is there is no system-wide default search path for
users we can easily modify.    dtlogin & gdm set a PATH for GUI logins,
and those have changed several times in the last few years.   Indiana
ships a PATH in the ~/.profile it creates for new users (the ever
controversial "/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/bin" PATH).
