I had /usr/local/bin in /etc/profile and it was being ignored after
upgrade to SL.

I've not investigated why, but by trial and error I discovered that
/etc/paths no honors order (if I am not mistaked it didn't, or the
system ignored extra entries... don't remember the exact gotcha but
there was one).

So my /etc/profile, /etc/bashrc and /etc/paths.d are system defaults
now, and just edited /etc/paths to put /usr/local/bin at the top.
