[Scons-dev] Base SCons path for OSX

[Managan, Rob]

For reference sake I added /etc/paths and /etc/path.d/* to the path since
it was claimed that Apple sanctioned it as the way to add paths to the
system and is used by Xquartz installation to add /opt/X11/bin to the
path. On my system it also catches the TexLive installation paths
/usr/texbin
