Customizing binpath is intended for advanced users only.

x11prefix @x11prefix@
Shouldn't we not hard-code the prefix and x11prefix, even if it is
just a commented-out example line?
Maybe. Would it be better to put psuedo paths in the comments such as
"/foo; /blah" or something? I think the variable should be referenced in
the file somewhere, and it seems awkward to list no path. Also, I see the
guide doesn't list the default binpath so that should be fixed.
Just use @prefix_expended@ and @x11prefix@ which will get expanded on
install. We already use them at other places in this file.
As a side note, maybe binpath should not be overwritten, but paths given
in the config should be prepended to the default list. This would make
it much easier to use this feature. But I am unsure if we really want
users to make use of this as it allows third-party dependencies.
