Subject: [patch] adding ~/bin to path
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

I just had some one complain that their own bin dir wasn't being
picked up like it was on Linux... the fix was a trivial addition
to /etc/profile I had put on my own machine ages ago without even
thinking about it.
