Is it possible to transform PATH in a single function, and then call that 
functions from each place where Bash invokes subsidiary programs?

It is conceivable that other ports of Bash (e.g. Cygwin) will want a 
similar feature, so perhaps the maintainer could be persuaded to 
introduce some machanism for tweaking PATH before running subprocesses.
