I as understand it, appending /opt/local/bin to the path works fine at
_runtime_ but may be insufficient at _build time_.
It seems to me that MacPorts should explicitly set the path to what's
needed at build time (i.e. prepend $prefix to PATH) ... as the PATH
might not even include /opt/local at all.

I think it's a question for the group in general: which is the best
approach? The range of choices we have is basically to pick from
the following menu:
- Install a file into /etc/manpaths.d/
- Install a file into /etc/paths.d/
- Munge ~/.profile to munge MANPATH
- Munge ~/.profile to munge PATH
was
- Munge /etc/[man]paths
ruled out? It has the advantage of letting us put /opt/local/
{bin,man} in the [MAN]PATH where we want it and being much easier to
work with than shell rc/profile files.
