Well, I could, but I think that's a bad idea! Things like paths do not belong
into the source since they're system dependent. (I know that in C it's common
to have to edit some source files or makefiles before compiling, but that's
one of the many things I dislike about C.) For compiler options that affect
the source (most of them), it's ok for me to put them into the source, but
path options I'd like to see in system dependent things like scripts, aliases
and/or environment variables...
