Modified alc_env.csh
This is a modified rawhide version of alc_env.csh that doesn't add the current working directory to the path. I also tweaked the manpath to include the defaults in the case that manpath wasn't already set.

Description of problem: If you install alliance, profile.d/alc_env.csh gets created and in it it modifies your path using: setenv PATH "${PATH}:${ALLIANCE_TOP}/bin:" This ends up putting in a :: into your path. This is a minor security issue as it is easy to run a program unexpectedly when the current working directory is being searched. profile.d/alc_env.sh also has a similar problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): alliance-5.0-16.20070718snap.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install alliance 2. login again 3. echo $PATH Actual results: Path with :: in it Expected results: Path without :: in it Additional info:
