Who can tell me about /etc/profile.env.

This appears to get rebuilt at every boot, but I can't find anything in
/etc/rc.d/... that does it.  Also man bash doesn't reference it (only
variable $BASH_ENV).

TIA,

It's auto-generated by the env-update program.

And where does env-update run from.  I can't find any trace of it greping
the /etc/rc.d/.... stuff.

It's run after every ebuild merge, and takes care of updating the environment
as well as library paths.

I like to use zsh as my shell. When I source /etc/profile.env in zsh, 
my path ends up being /usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin, because profile.env has
the line 

export PATH='/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin'

should env-update be changed to make this
export PATH='/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH'
