Why not put your Exuberant ctags elsewhere, and use a shell alias to

That's definitely an option. But I was looking for a way to declutter my $PATH and $MANPATH of stuff I am never going to use. Also I prefer to not hard code aliases to binaries because my binary locations are dynamic (the $PATH is update based on the RHEL OS version and version of the software (master/stable/etc)).
Would removing "ctags${EXEEXT}" from this line (using something like sed) prevent building of ctags and its manpage?
