*PATH variables

First of all - Happy New Year, Steppers ;-)

GNUstep.* "startup" are changing *PATH shell variables by
adding GNUstep paths before system. I don't think this is The
Right Thing(tm), since GNUstep tools can be named like system
utils. gsnd, for example - in GNUstep this is a sound service,
but gsnd also exists in ghostscript (gsnd - Run ghostscript
(PostScript and PDF engine) without display according to man
gsnd).

I think it's better add entries to end of *PATH's. Something
like that:

PATH="$PATH:/User:/Local:/Network:/System"

instead of:

PATH="/User:/Local:/Network:/System:$PATH"

Patch for -make attached, but I'm nos sure if it's 100% right
for csh since i don't use it.
