I can only second Ian here, having an architecture-dependent PATH / library path
is archaic, IMHO. Even automounters a decade ago could handle this more elegantly,
at least if the admin in question cares to read the man pages. :-] There are tons
of programs which would have to handle this compared to a single automounter/whatever
config. So let's make this our mantra: "/usr is write-only and /usr/lib is /usr/lib!"
