Subject: [PATCH] Adding mechanism for managing paths in a plugin.     * User
 creates a file (by default ~/.pathrc) which lists one         directory per
 line, all of the directories which should         make up his path. The file
 to use can be overridden with the         PATHRC variable.     * User creates
 a file (by default ~/.manpathrc) which lists one         directory per line,
 all of the directories which should         make up his manpath. The file to
 use can be overridden with the         MANPATHRC variable.
