Actually, .cshrc is not relevant to LyX/Mac, which as a GUI
application does not get its PATH from the shell initialization files.
Whatever method fink uses to set the PATH for shells, it may not be a
good idea to follow: fink puts its own directories ahead of system
directories like /bin and /usr/bin. Unless you're sure of what fink
puts in those directories, and sure you want those binaries instead of
the "normal" binaries, it can be confusing and/or insecure to allow
fink to set your PATH.
