 Yes, I added that option some years ago, for just these kinds of issues.
 It is a disarmingly simple way of getting past these hiccups. It also has
 the very helpful feature of properly setting up the PATH, which the app PG
 method does not do by default.

 I considered making it the default option, as it just seems to be the
 right thing to do usually, but left it as there were so many ports already
 using the existing method, and I didn't want to have to rebuild and try
 them all.

 It usually works, but like anything, not guaranteed. Has to be tested.
