[moving this thread over to the dev list] as per earlier email in this thread, from my POV option #2 is the preferred solution. Definitely change the name away from PATH for usage which isn't $PATH anymore. if it doesn't harm to automatically prepend the $PATH, then why not make that easy for those who want to use it?
