Could be worse.

SuSe distributes crafty in their distros.  Can you imagine my debugging problems
when I make a change and type "crafty" and not realize they tucked one away in
/usr/bin/crafty, and that "." is last in my PATH?  :)  And I can't figure out
why the change didn't help?  And then I can't figure out why the printf's I
added are not printing?  :)


Done that twice now, once on my dual xeon in my office, once on my sony
laptop...
