I just checked in some code (r31491:31492) that supplies and installs spec files for the /etc/paths.d and /etc/manpaths.d directories if they are present, as they are on Leopard.

The contents of these files are automatically added to the users PATHS and MANPATHS environment variables, and should mean that we don't need to configure the user's profile under Leopard. Note that support for this is though path_helper(8).

Note that paths added through this mechanism are added at the _end_of_ the PATH and MANPATH variables, and so won't automatically override any system-supplied commands.



Hopefully this will make future configuration less painful. Comments welcome.
