This doesn't work for me (Solaris 2.5.1, DEC OSF/1 3.2) - sh just
echoes nothing if started with PATH unset. There have to be default
values compiled into the shell, but those are not echoed if $PATH
is empty.
On POSIX systems, there is the possibility of using confstr(_CS_PATH),
(pdksh does that as far as I know) but I don't know wether/how the
returned value is useful/configurable. I also vote for adding a
special option to the configure script (as I'd like to add our instal-
lation dependant local directories).
In my opinion, support for named pipes should be continued - I use
it quite often and it works fine for me.
Bye,
Stefan
