Description
Ran into a problem where a user trying to build KDE couldn't because they hadn't put /usr/X11R6/bin in their path.
As a workaround, I tried setting path in configure.env and build.env, but it won't let me. Either "$PATH" as a bareword gets seen as a tcl variable, or if I escape it tcl does some weird quoting thing with curly braces that messes everything up royally. (see URL)
What is the proper way to modify that kind of thing in a portfile?

figured this one out, I was about to do it like this:
set env(PATH) "/usr/X11R6/bin:$env(PATH):${prefix}/bin"
