I've seen

        (push "/usr/local/bin" exec-path)

Yes, this is the method I also recommend. Could be I am the only one ...


This approach might fail in some circumstances: when, for example in  
Terminal, bash or tcsh use their own setup of PATH and other  
variables. Since the dot RC files are executed some time after the  
Terminal.app application has launched and its internal shell  
interpreter is started, Terminal's original and correct settings can  
be overwritten with wrong values. So it's useful, maybe even  
recommended, to also use lines like

        export MANPATH=$(defaults read "${HOME}/.MacOSX/environment" MANPATH)

in ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile etc., which also tells that more  
environment variables (INFOPATH for example, LANG, LC_CTYPE) can be  
set in this single and central instance.
