I have no idea, frankly speaking. AFAIK, pdf-tools does use /some/
binary, and is installed via package-install (and AFAIR, I didn't have
to add anything to the $PATH variable) - so there must be some way it
does it, and that's practically all I know. (One more thing, I don't
know whether it's significant, but I have to reinstall it every time
I compile a new Emacs. No idea why exactly.)
