setup git PATH for non-terminal programs.sh should use /usr/libexec/path_helper

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run "setup git PATH for non-terminal programs.sh"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It creates a .MacOSX/environment.plist file that has a path that does not match 
the output of 
/usr/libexec/path_helper. In particular, it includes /opt/local/bin which is 
not always used. I 
personally use homebrew for package management and put it in /opt/homebrew. 
This script should 
just be a little more aware of the user environment. path_helper is a more 
accurate way to do it (in 
fact, git installer correctly adds itself to the path via /etc/paths.d)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.6.6.2 Intel Leopard on Mac OS X 10.6.2

To be fair, Mac OS X non-terminal programs, by default, don't respect the 
environment set up by path_helper.

It seems what you are asking for is to add git, PLUS the rest of your bash 
environment, to your Mac OS X non-terminal PATH environment.  Is that right?

Granted... it appears the script is tacking on an /opt/local/bin, so it's 
already doing a little more than it should.
