Hi John.
Contrary to what I thought, find_in_path returns its argument
verbatim (and not null) if the program is not found.
The fix is of course OK for master.
But this makes me think whether `find_in_path' is the right tool to
determine whether sensible-editor exists or not. What if the user has
. in her PATH and her sensible-editor is in the current directory, for
example?
