They append and prepend a given path to a given env variable if the
given path is not already present there (look in init.sh to see
exactly how they're used). I know some fink packages install scripts
that are run by init.sh that use those functions (unaffected by your
idea); I don't know if any use those functions outside of that scope
(in their own /sw/bin/* or other internal scripts).

Maybe safest to experiment with your .profile (after init.sh is
loaded) instead of the global init.sh file...that way fink things that
explicitly load fink's init.sh still get it, and at worst you only
break things run from your command-line.
