Point of order: it's generally not a good idea to have '.' on your path,
because then you risk your system tools being clobbered by ones in the
current directory.  For instance, you download a tarball, unpack, cd into it
and type 'ls'.  If the tarball contains a malicious program called 'ls' then
you've just executed it.

Prefix program names with './' if you want to run ones in the current
directory.
