I've been trying for *ages* to get /etc/profile to be an external file.
"All' it needs is *someone* willing to be a package maintainer for it.
Hardly an onerous role, yet no one seems willing to do it.
As soon as someone emails me with their willingness, I can provide the
relevant tarall immediately, and that person then can just add
/usr/X11R6/bin to the path in /etc/profile.
