The scribble infrastructure (libraries and build scripts) for Bootstrap use 
define-runtime-path in certain places, and I'm trying to understand the 
implications of modifying those uses to build-path instead. (This is in 
code which Danny Yoo originally wrote and I'm now trying to maintain).

Here are two specific examples:

   (define-runtime-path lessons-dir
     (build-path 'up "lessons"))

   (define (get-units-dir)
      (build-path courses-base (current-course) "units" "langs" "english"))

We are tempted to edit the lessons-dir definition to follow the form of 
get-units-dir (because we need to start using get-env to build these 
paths).  What would we lose if we did this?  We don't need to create 
executables.  We simply need to run scribble on a slew of files (and create 
a directory of html to deploy on our web-server).  We do depend on 
traverse-blocks in producing our html.  Does define-runtime-path do 
anything special for us in this case?

thanks,
Kathi
