Does bash have the same functionality supported by ksh88's FPATH?  As far as
I could see bash does not support FPATH.  Did anyone write such an
implementation for bash?  Does anyone know if it is planned for future
releases of bash?  Any ideas what to do in the mean time? (no, sourcing all
of the files in the FPATH will not do -- it defies the purpose of FPATH.)

Thanks,
Erez.
