I as understand it, appending /opt/local/bin to the path works
fine at _runtime_ but may be insufficient at _build time_.
So you're saying that if we append prefix to the path we might
have build issues that we wouldn't have if we prepend. That's a
good argument.
No, I'm saying that for interactive use it usually doesn't matter
that /opt/local is appended. But when building new Ports, we
probably do want /opt/local first in the path -- however MacPorts
should probably prepend $prefix to PATH during builds regardless of
whether path_helper is used or not.
If I understand things correctly, port sets its own internal path
environment, completely ignoring the user's environment.
