Again, I'm not arguing for changing the default. In fact, as long as
ORIGINAL_PATH stays available it might even still be added to PATH in
/etc/profile, although I still think it is cleaner to install
/etc/profile.d/00_add_windows_path.sh in base-files with the contents
I've shown. If it's already been added then removing it with just the
means of a POSIX shell is a bit involved, but even that would be a
possibility.

The issue is that to effect that customization I have to change a file
that is not supposed to be changed (since that prevents any updates from
getting to it automatically).
