Some folks have asked for a there to be a difference between
the system entries in @INC and site specific ones. Of course,
then they'll want org-specific dirs vs current dirs, and we'll
start gettin things like 7-elt @INCs:

/usr/local/lib/perl5/sun4-sunos
/usr/local/lib/perl5
/usr/convex/lib/perl5/sun4-sunos
/usr/convex/lib/perl5
/usr/lib/perl5/sun4-sunos
/usr/lib/perl5
.
