Yeah, that's why I said `maybe with a warning message'. It just seems
really bogus to me that if a locker is set up with the old-style
$bindir system (which you're not supposed to use any more) that it
will work fine, but if it's set up with the new, recommended
$ATHENA_SYS system, it loses.

(The particular thing I lost on was nawm out of gamadrid's sipb
homedir, which hardly counts as a locker, although I guess there
aren't many other examples of programs lots of people would run out of
someone else's homedir. Yes, I sent him mail.)
