Added support in MacPorts base to set PATH and MANPATH
automatically in Leopard

I just checked in some code (r31491:31492) that supplies and installs
spec files for the /etc/paths.d and /etc/manpaths.d directories if
they are present, as they are on Leopard.
The contents of these files are automatically added to the users PATHS
and MANPATHS environment variables, and should mean that we don't need
to configure the user's profile under Leopard. Note that support for
this is though path_helper(8).
Hopefully this will make future configuration less painful. Comments
welcome.
