About 'setenv PATH "...:~/bin"', csh does file globbing when it splits
$PATH apart into $path (unless $noglob is set).  But it doesn't export
the globbed names back into $PATH.  Children of your csh probably will
not interpret "~/bin" properly.

The simplest solution is to use "set path = (... ~/bin)" instead.
