=head1 NAME
preppath - prepend directories to path
=head1 SYNOPSIS
preppath [-c] [-v variable] directory...
=head1 DESCRIPTION
preppath prepends the directories given as arguments to the PATH,
eliminates any duplicates and prints the new path on stdout.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-c>
Check whether the directories exist before adding them. Nonexistent
directories are silently ignored.
=item B<-v> I<variable>
Use the environment variable I<variable> instead of PATH.
This is useful for manipulating other PATH-like variables, like
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PERL5LIB, etc.
