Has anyone ever done anything similar before?
What does policy say about the idea of modifying users' PATH statements?
I vaguely remember reading an ITP or something for colorwrapper, a
program which colorizes the output of ps, date, dmesg, etc. which
I think requires changing the user's path. But I don't remember what
ended up happening.
What should the help message we display say?

How? :-) And will it matter, if it only affects commands like 'kde',
'gnome', 'move', 'ren', and 'delete' which currently just say "bash:
command not found"?
