#86 Have an installer option to add the bin dir to the PATH
At present, every time I install grep (I do this multiple times a day on various machines) I have to add the path of \bin to the PATH variable. It would be great if the installer could just ask me if I want to do this.
I've seen a lot of bugs (whist searching to see if someone else had requested this) that say "I typed grep/sed/which/whatever but got the error message so such command or filename" or similar. Having the default option to be adding the directory to the end of the PATH would resolve these issues.
