 a binary to execute rather than cooking our own. Though I'm unsure about
 setting the PATH env var before starting Sugar, as this is something that
 distro people will mess with and may be better to avoid increasing the
 number of things that may go wrong.

 the command line, as all distros where Sugar runs will have /usr/sbin in
 PATH.

 Bad chose of words. What I wanted to say is by setting the PATH env var in
 the sugar script, the effective PATH in the terminal activity will include
 /usr/sbin on all distros, so the same examples will work.
