There are several problems with sourcing the users shell profile.   
Often users have code that is not meant to be run, except when  
starting a new terminal.  Other times, there are bugs in the user's  
profile that prevents commands from working.  So, sourcing the profile  
is inadvisable.

I agree that it is inconvenient to maintain a PATH in the Shell  
Variables.  In the future TextMate will have a better method to handle  
it.  But we are stuck with the shell vars prefpane for now.
