I have a bin directory full of perl scripts and shell scripts, and an
arch directory full of symlinks and nothing else. So "add boojum"
breaks every time there's an OS update that doesn't fall back to the
last thing I put in as a symlink.
Looking through the lockers I add, they're *all* symlink trees, except
for jmorzins, who cannot be bothered and so I use "add ~jmorzins/Bin".
I know add falls back to directories corresponding to earlier versions,
so you don't have to have every single thing listed, but it would be
nice if it would fall back to some non-platform specific directory
("common"?) at the end, to avoid the whole "must supply a dozen
different ways to reach the same platform-independent program" mess.
