Yes, I noticed this a while ago as well. Without having looked at the
scripts, I'm guess this is happening because of the way directories
are added to the path variables. First the user directory is added to
to the *front* of PATH, then Local is added to the *front*, and so on.
When adding to the front of PATH, GNUSTEP_PATHLIST must be iterated in
reverse.
