What about putting the binaries into /usr/bin/plan9/, instead of prefixing
each one individually? The FHS 2.3 specifies that mh binaries should go into
/usr/bin/mh, so there's precedent for subdirs there. (Not that our nmh
package follows that rule....)

Since we also already ship the environment-modules package, an env-module
for plan 9 could be included; users who want the plan 9 binaries could
either set their path manually or run "module load plan9".

This seems preferable to the "alternatives" system, since it's per-user
rather than systemwide.
