We don't set $athena_manpath anymore.  I think only really ancient  
accounts have this set, and it was primarily useful on Sun where  
manpages were in 5 million places, but since Ubuntu likes to bail if  
dotfiles refer to non-existent environment variables, we should  
probably just set it to MANPATH or something.  I noticed we still  
honor $athena_path for ~/.path users, so we should probably honor this  
(or document that we're not honoring it).
