gollark: Ah, it seems that it has a `package.path` thing somewhere.

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`?
