[LRUG] "What would Jason Bourne do?" follow-up

After some consideration, I came to the conclusion that my *$PATH* tip was
a very bad idea. Just to be clear, that was meant for development only, I
would never consider doing it in production. A hearty pub chat with Paul
Battley and Ben Griffiths prompted me to think about this some more.

In conclusion, do not be lazy - as I seem to be - and type the whole *
./bin/setup* or *./script/boot*, don't go for relative *$PATH* scoping. As
Paul initially pointed in the questions, it represents a security risk -
yes, even for your development environment.

Thank you both for pointing out my mistake, and thank you all for being a
great audience, Gerhard.
