oops, juse to be more clear, anything in the environment var LOCATE_PATH
will always be searched regardless. ie,

This will search both db1.db and db2.db, but not the default database:
LOCATE_PATH=db1.db
slocate -d db2.db foo

This will search both db1.db and the default database:
LOCATE_PATH=db1.db
slocate foo

This is what I gather from looking at the old code.
