I don't mind adding more directories to the list in findroot,
and something like /usr/local/9vx is certainly a better entry
in that list than /home/rsc/plan9/4e (sorry).
What I didn't understand was the rationale behind putting
in a new environment variable when there is already a
command-line option. The argument about being right
for the users is bogus: the amount of work required to
make all users have the right environment variable setting
is about the same as the amount of work required to
make all users pass the right -r flag.
