Ah, I didn't look all that closely at the Gnulib implementation: I was
under the impression that it was supposed to be more generally portable.
It has other questionable behavior: for example, the findprog Gnulib
module is a no-op on Cygwin even though the search path logic there is the
same as it is on other platforms.

I will.
