Ah. Good observation. I'd not have guessed that one.

An alternate solution to that kind of thing is to avoid adding the
vendor directories to the path at all. Instead, I tend to make symlinks
from somewhere that is normally in my path (such as /usr/local/bin) for
the commands that should be normally accessible from the shell. I just
don't like cluttering up my path with new directories every time I add
a new application. As a side benefit, I don't end up with commands in
my path that I shouldn't be using (such as Lahey's f95 command), but
that happen to be in the same directory as ones that I do use. Your
mileage or preferences may vary.
