	What is it?
The getpath utility is used to get a PATH string which can be used to set
the most inclusive path possible for each user given their permissions and
the exclusions in the /etc/getpath.conf file.  No more hacking around each
distribution's terrible default path settings.  Now easy path administration
is in your hands!  ;)

	Installation?
Unzip and untar the source package
Change to the new directory
Edit the Makefile if you don't want BASE=/usr
make
make install

	Configuration?
Edit the default /etc/getpath.conf file to list all your binary directories.
You can exclude individual directories from individual users' default paths
using the conf file.  See the man page getpath(8) for more details.  Finally,
get rid of your old set PATH and setenv PATH statements in files such as
/etc/*.login, /etc/*rc, et cetera.  Replace them with one call to
export PATH=`/usr/bin/getpath` or setenv PATH `/usr/bin/getpath`

	What if it doesn't work?
