Which is the killer question: is adding a directory to the search path
more or less of a performance hog than adding x-100 .exes and/or .dll's
to the /usr/bin directory. And will the inevitable 'my dos script can't
find netpbm foobar tool' questions be worth it?
Well my system32 directory here has 1971 files. Adding a coupla hundred
optional files doesn't seem all that bad to me.
And hey, if FAT is too slow, folk can always install the windows ext2
driver.
