Changes (by duncan):

  * difficulty:  normal => easy (<4 hours)

Comment:

 Yes, we could have the generated `Paths_<pkgname>` module check an
 environment variable and if it exists, use that in preference to the
 normal value.

 Doesn't sound too hard. It might also be a good opportunity to clean up
 that code and move it into it's own module.
