Hmm, yes, that might be helpful to some users, I think. However, may be 
we should make dt-createdb script more intelligent or interactive 
(optionally), so that most of the stuff is filled up automatically?

Btw, the $PATH won't actually be updated by the script, since the 
current shell terminates and it can't affect the environment of the 
parent process.

You might just print instructions (exact command) to user to update the 
path (however, it's shell-dependent...)

Ah! Thanks for spotting that, I've opened i#205 to fix it.
