Users may change the command path in gtags.conf rather than 
copying ctags to ctags-exuberant.
Since write permission to /usr/local/bin is not needed, it is easier.

Whether the -u(--sort=no) option is used needs to check.
This is not easy.

If a user cannot understand the meaning of a config variable, 
he will not change its value. 
Therefore, this is a problem only in the case of using the 
plug-in parser which is neither Emacs ctags nor Exuberant ctags.
Is this right?
