so you added /usr/local/myth/bin to your $PATH?

What if you had two user accounts: "stable" and "svn" and their $PATH
pointed to /usr/local/mythSTABLE/bin (mythSVN respectively) directly?
That would save you the ldconfig, I guess.

Pity I got the 0.18.1 installed to /usr/bin. I cannot unsymlink that
path :-) Now I would have to rely on the precedence of /usr/local/bin if
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH. However, if myth keeps the same names for all
binaries this *could* work. What do you think?
