Seems I've been a little hasty when stating everything's ok :-(
Indeed, vim's function executable("name") returns 1 for everything,
also for not existing programs.
Looking at the sources I've found that:
1. vim (6.0.93) tests the existance of 'name' in os_unix.c
inside the function mch_can_exe with:
sprintf((char *)buf, "which %s", name);
...
retval = (*p != NUL && strstr((char *)p, "not found") == NULL);
return retval;
2. which (which-1.4) returns, if the command wasn't found:
fprintf (stderr, "no %s in %s\n", cmd, PATH);
Which one should be changed ?
Bernd
