I get annoyed by that on Gentoo, too. Gentoo, though, is using the path
entries to control *which* version of various things run when I type
a command at the prompt, IIUC, and it updates them when I change the
active version of a program, and removes them correctly when a package
is uninstalled.
Gentoo doesn't use path for that for everything, though...for Python, when
I change which version is active ("eselect python python2.5") it updates
the symlinks rather than the path, and I like that much better. It's less
fragile, too, since it means I don't have to do 'source /etc/profile'
in every open shell after switching the active version of Python.
I don't use Windows much, but on balance I think I'm with Martin here :)
