I'm not using this option, so my remark was just to remind you that
second-guessing the user w.r.t. PATH will eventually find at least one
user in an unfortunate (and in this case hard to debug) situation.  So
the usual advice applies:

a) Just warn about the missing PATH component without changing the PATH.
b) Give the user an option to let the command run with a separate PATH.

Indeed there might be other things that are missing in the environment,
so instead of just fixing up PATH you might consider using a wrapper
that the user can change.


Regards,
Achim.
