System: NetBSD zen.quick.com.au 1.3.2 NetBSD 1.3.2 (ZEN-PUC) #4: Thu Feb 11 17:34:27 EST 1999 root@zen.quick.com.au:/u3/NetBSD/1.3.2/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ZEN-PUC i386


>Description:
	
It should be possible for users to create a private database for use with 
locate(1) for their home directory.

GNU's locate for instance supports $LOCATE_PATH as well as command line
options for specifying an alternate database - list of alternate databases 
actually.  

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	
If no one objects to using $LOCATE_PATH and/or -d "dbpath" I'm happy to
code it up.
