A while ago, it was reported that 'gv' needed 'gs' from the gnu locker
in order to run.
The problem was fixed by putting a wrapper script around the gv
program which extended the path to include
/mit/gnu/arch/$ATHENA_SYS/bin
I found tonight that the wrapper script doesn't work (on Solaris,
at least) because it doesn't 'export' the new path.
I edited /mit/sipb/share/gv/gv.sh to fix this. (For those interested
in what I did, I've included a context diff below.)
