    Note to self: /usr/local/bin in osx path

    After removing macports and installing homebrew, I encountered a problem when I installed pycurl (a dependency of tornado). pycurl requires a newer version (v7.19) of libcurl than what my system (osx 10.5.8) has (v7.16). So I grabbed the curl source and installed it (./configure --with-ca-bundle=/usr/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt && make && make install). With the newer curl installed in /usr/local, I tried installing pycurl again, and it failed. Checking my $PATH, I found out that /usr/local/bin is the last entry. I read the /etc/profile and the /usr/libexec/path_helper and attempted to reorganize the PATH but instead decided to remove /usr/local/bin from /etc/paths and manually add it in /etc/profile.
