Thomas, Louis,

This query came up in the RWO installation chapter comments, about which files to update:

> Most people - definitely those on Fedora - will want this in ~/.bashrc, 
> not ~/.bash_profile. ~/.bashrc is for interactive shells.

Will OPAM 1.1 deal with this correctly?  I think we want OPAM to be active in
non-interactive shells too, or else any shell scripts that invoke OCaml will fail.
