Solaris is why I want to see all hardwired paths to commands eradicated from

Yes, I realize that doesn't fix the #!/bin/sh issue on Solaris. Maybe next
century Oracle will get their OS out of the 1960s. Gack. I'm reminded of
arguing with the USG people about why the /bin/sh on the 3B4000 still
recognized '^' as a "pipe" character. Thank gawd for source code licenses. By
the time I got that machine semi-functional I'm sure I had ported a third of
the 4.2BSD source tree across to it :-)
And don't get me started about Lachman and Wollongong :-P
