Sorry, I typed it wrong. This should have been @prefix_expanded@ with an 
'a' instead of an 'e'.

This @foo@ notation gets replaced with the real path on ./configure 
using autoconf. For example see the prefix and x11prefix options in the 
same file.

So binpath could be like this:
#binpath	 
@prefix_expanded@/bin:@prefix_expanded@/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:@x11prefix@/bin

All paths will get replaced automatically.
