Supposedly /etc/paths.d/ works for this too, have not had time to look into it yet though. That would allow to set paths without modifying a config file maintained by who know who or what.
See ‘man path_helper’ for details about this system — it’s only for the PATH and MANPATH variables and require the shell runs the path_helper executable (and interprets the result, which will be “a shell script”).
