[Nix-dev] ~/bin in PATH if exists

[Sander van der Burg - EWI]

Why is this "personal bin" directory needed? I don't see the point actually.

I mean users in NixOS have their own private Nix profile to install their binaries in, right?

I think preferred the approach of Peter - no addition of ~/bin. I consider that
the task of ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile.

I don't think that Peter was worried in having that in the PATH when the path
does not exist. I think it worried him only if it existed. :)
