For now, CND searches compilers in PATH during startup. This might slow down Netbeans startup dramatically. I observed the following situation. Last time I exited CND with a native project open. On the next CND startup I didn't have compilers in my path; and my path contained several network (/net/...) locations that were unreachable. The CND startup seemed to be just endless. After waiting 5 (!) minutes for the main window to come up I had to kill the process.

> For now, CND searches compilers in PATH during startup The above was not true. The path search was for terminal emulators (gnome-terminal, konsole, and xterm) on Unix systems. I've sped it up and provided a 5 second timeout. I haven't removed the path search completely. I did add a check in a default directory for gnome-terminal and xterm (kde isn't installed in a standard enough location to do this). This should also limit the times network directories are searched. But there still is potential for going out over the network here. I've just minimized it.
