Deprecated way to set path

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Path should be set in /etc/paths.d according to Apple
2. Remove the .MacOSX hidden folder
3. echo "/usr/local/git/bin" > /etc/paths.d/git

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
This will enable your path to be set correctly, and be inherited by 
applications.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.6.0.1 on 10.5.4 Intel

Currently, the installer is creating /etc/paths.d/git and /etc/manpaths.d/git

Are you certain that non-terminal applications inherit these environment 
variables?  My tests have shown that 
they don't, but I could be wrong.  Can you verify?

For me, the installer created /paths.d/git and /mathpaths.d/git, i.e. right at 
root, i.e. missing '/etc'.  I had to 
manually move the files to their correct '/etc' locations.
