Should clarify that I am talking about the PATH in the environment when
Apache is being started/restarted. Ie., I was stopping/starting Apache
on the command line. Thus it was my personal user PATH environment which
was inherited by the "apachectl" program that was the problem.

This issue may explain away some prior cases where people were having
lots of problems getting mod_python to pick up the correct installed 
Python
code files for mod_python. :-(
