Hi,

We now have system level `update-alternatives' mechanism that can be
used by root to maintain symbol links in `/etc/alternatives'. Is it
useful/interesting to extend its use to user level, i.e. to maintain
similar symbol links in `~/bin' or something like `~/bin/alternatives'?
Or does that already exist? I personally think it can be useful, because
I currently do that manually.
