Please note that the /usr/local/bin was added for entirely different purpose
- it is necessary in order to find bzip2 command when we using tbz2
packages.In my view addition of /usr/X11R6/bin is superfluous and would only
promote bad poring practices. In fact, it should be relatively easy to find
and fix all path-broken ports by greeping PLISTS in ports collection.
