I just checked on a standard Redhat installation in our department and
there were only two scripts in profile.d:
mh.sh and mh.csh ;-)
I don't think it's worth the trouble and even Redhat doesn't seem to
use it extensively.

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
