It's simple and it'll work. No, I am arguing that, besides this path_prefix variable, we should add the binary dir to the path automatically. This will catter for the needs of most users without having to change any special path. But since I did not see your answer on this point (yet), I keep repeating the same thing :) Assuming the bindir is added to the PATH, I think that a ruurd-style package will not need any other path setting (and this is good!). Concerning the viewers, I think we should provide like in LyX/Mac a default preference file with sets most viewers to something like "start $$i", so that the viewers do not have to be on the path (and respect the system-wide settings).
