No reason. I'm just arbitrary by nature. :)

Seriously, though, the reason it wasn't there already was because
(using Gentoo, as I do) things like sqlite on my machine get installed
into /usr/bin (etc.), and thus I've never had any problems with it.
And no one (until now) has reported problems.

So, assuming the change you recommended won't break *my* setup
(*grin*) I'll go ahead and make the change.
