I wasn't suggesting that! I agree absolutely that administrators

Right, that all looks sensible. I still like the idea of installing
scripts into $prefix/share or something, and defining a convenience
variable that points at them.
If nobody beats me to it, I may make a patch for that. Would it be

in doing this, but I've been reading about it recently.)
