Great, so that's "exotic".  I just want it to work in the non-exotic
case :-).  Presumably adding the non-exotic location to the end of
PATH, if there is such a non-exotic location, and it can be found,
won't hurt anything, because the "exotic" location will *already* be
on the PATH, and it will greatly increase the chance of JCC "just
working".
