ICK.  This makes it very nasty.  Bad all around.  I don't mind info
and man having larger search paths, since this searching is
automatic.  I do mind when I have to manually look at many places for
information.  And it breaks nice resources that I have set up for
online documentation browsing; eg, http://documentation.cs.twsu.edu.
