And that's why civilized programs don't depend on external executables from
$PATH.
Now, I'd imagine that some people have argued in the past that org shouldn't
depend on external executables. Clearly those arguments have failed.
But, let's take a fresh look. How about this rule of thumb: don't depend on
external executables **from $PATH**.
Can we agree on that?
How about: don't depend on external executables from $PATH, but allow the user
to override via config.
This is important on the 'reproducible research' front.
