[OS X TeX] local vs. global symlink

[Jon Breitenbucher]

I would concur with Jérôme on this one. Do not create links in my  
home directory.

Jérôme, are you thinking then that /Users/me/Library/TeX/whatever  
would be added to the user's $PATH in ~/.profile? I guess I am  
unclear on what the intent is to make these accessible from the  
command line. I actually created a scripts directory in ~/ 
Applications and added ~/Applications/scripts to my path for all of  
my own CLI programs.
