IMO an installation program for an app should be able to change the .profile or 
equivalent in a user's home dir if it needs to (at least with the permission of 
the user).  That means that it needs to find a .profile vs. a .login, or 
whatever.  Or perhaps this means the app should query to find out which shell 
the user has enabled by default, and find the correct file that way?  In which 
case we should specify the correct way to do that perhaps?
