I still think that path_of is a complication that we don't really need.

"type" command exist in posix, and althought its output is not defined,
if the output of a real command don't show the path that we need (in
this case /usr/bin/install), then type is pretty wrong in my humble
opinion.

With respect of the rest of the patch.  Only real difference is that
mine uses "prog_exists" vs yours use "has" name.

I obviosly think that prog_exists is a more descriptive name, but I
really don't care one way or another.

Can we agree that we don't need path_of, and then just stop playing with
IFS and friends?

Later, Juan.
