+?X: There are two schools of thoughts here. Some people correctly argue that
+?X: the user has a better chance than we do of setting a reasonable PATH and
+?X: others argue that Configure is the best place there is to set up a suitable
+?X: PATH. Well, here we try to compromize by keeping the user's PATH and
+?X: appending some directories which are known to work on some machine or the
+?X: other. The rationale behind this being that a novice user might not have a
+?X: proper environment variable set, and some directories like /etc (where
+?X: chown is located on some BSD systems) may be missing--RAM.
+?X:
+?X: SVR4 adds an /opt directory for optional packages.  Some sites use
+?X: various permutations on /opt as opposed to /usr or /usr/local.-- ADO
+?X:
+?X: We only add directories that are not already in the PATH of the
+?X: user and the directories must exist also.
