I neglected to mention that you cannot simply "rpm -Uvh" the new switcher.
Due to a bad decision in my original switcher implementation, modulefiles
were placed in $prefix/share -- which could actually conflict with other
files. The new version places them in $prefix/share/env-switcher.
So if you "rpm -Uvh" the new switcher, be sure to:
# cd $prefix/share
# ln -s . env-switcher
and you'll be ok.
(obviously, a fresh install will do the Right Thing; all new modulefiles
will be placed in the $prefix/share/env-switcher directory)
I didn't put in the backwards compatability because it was a pain. If
someone *really* needs this, let me know...
