I think this a wise idea for this type of package. However, postscripts
would need to be written to add the /opt/foo/bin path to the PATH
variable in the /etc/profile file. Do we really want to go into that
hassle? Would it be more confusing to the non-UNIX types? Would it
raise more questions on the users list? Although this is a wise idea it
might not be so wise to implement.
