It's a csh-ism.  If you're using a sh-derivative (eg, bash), you
shouldn't need to do anything.  My experience has always been that
when a new executable is added to my path, bash finds it.  I would
guess that it does some sort of hashing implicitly, and the change to
the directory marks the cached info as dirty.
