Description
psbuild -bootstrap works like a charm and is an instant success... however, only if the directory given matches the PSCONFDIR set in ~/.psconfigrc, if that file is present. If there's a mismatch, psconfig runs half-way through (until it reaches the point where PSCONFDIR is read) and then messes up the PATH etc. and can't find the .csh scripts any more in the place where psbuild -bootstrap copied them because it's looking in $PSCONFDIR instead.
Perhaps psbuild -bootstrap could check whether PSCONFDIR is set in ~/.psconfigrc and then offer the choice to either use that directory instead of what's given as argument to -bootstrap, or to replace what's in PSCONFDIR with the -bootstrap argument.
Also, the installation instructions don't know about -bootstrap yet.
