Well, I do. Anyway, when I say "fragile" I'm thinking more in the fact
that the detection method works for relatively stable environments. I
often modify my PATH and also quite often I have several CMD sessions
open with different PATHs. I'd much prefer to configure a variable (be
that an Emacs variable or an environment variable) and have it set up
forever.

Still, you say:

Detecting which sort is the correct one *every* time rcs2log runs seems
weird to me.

And still holds true what I've said: we have quite a few -program
variables for very similar reasons. sql-mode doesn't do any detecting
'round to find if I have sqlplus.exe or plus80.exe or whatever.
