Details:

/usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh will puts /usr/bin at the beginning
of the PATH. The result is:

PATH="/home/fwang/GNUstep/Tools:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/icecc/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/qt4/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/firebird/bin:/home/fwang/bin"

It adds "$HOME/GNUstep/Tools:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/icecc/bin" to the beggining of
PATH, which will confuse programs installed in /usr/local/bin, as they will be
ignored by preceed /usr/bin.

Is it possible considering current PATH order before setting PATH? i.e.,
dropping the PATH if it is already listed in current PATH. Or, put those
additional PATH at the end of PATH?
