pathchar is pretty cool, but it is very network intensive. Also, the
Linux version is still slightly broken and documentation is virtually
non-existent. The FreeBSD version works much better.
It is a binary-only release, so making a package would be trivial, but
perhaps we should wait for a more mature version?
