gollark: Please hold on while I dredge through æons of weird CC code.
gollark: I know how the shell path bit works, just not the require bit.
gollark: I basically want to make the shell run programs from `/bin` and `require` use `/lib` without the hacks potatOS employs.
gollark: Anyone know how to add extra paths to `require`?
gollark: Again, it wouldn't actually be an OS.
