I think Dulcinea users should speak up and let the group know there are
some of us out there... my sense is there may be more than they realize.
:-D

Along the same vein there are some other OS-specific paths in Dulcinea:

Dulcinea: change start of site management scripts from
 #!/usr/bin/python
to:
 #!/usr/bin/env python

Why: default path on BSD, FreeBSD at least, is /usr/local/bin/python. I
just symlink it but always at upgrade time its a detail that tends to get
overlooked.

Dulcinea: start-scgi.py:
Use a different approach to:
  if os.path.exists("/usr/bin/tidy"):

Again, default path is different on other *nixes. /usr/local/bin/tidy in
the case of most (all?) BSDs.

Documentation could "solve" these issues well enough too; am happy to put
a note on the Wiki if these are to remain as is.
