	My bad, I used the incorrect terms.

	Ok, so what is the correct behavoiur? It is supposed to prefer the
path set in the /etc/login.conf over the compiled in path? Is there something
I can pass to tell it not to do the getenv call, and use the path compiled
into it? So which should it trust? The getenv call or the compiled in one?
