You are right.
In fact, I have added new variable 'ctagscom' to gtags.conf file
in the master repository. Using it, you can overwrite the path of ctags
at the time of execution.
[gtags.conf]
exuberant-ctags|plugin-example|setting to use Exuberant Ctags plug-in parser:\
:tc=common:\
:ctagscom=/usr/local/bin/ctags:\ <== ADDED
...
The next release of GLOBAL should include the facility.
