Add a helper to hide the platform-dependent method to get a
canonical, absolute, /-separated path to the executable.
Use this and the relative path from BINDIR to PKGDATADIR to
construct a search path that finds the scripts even if the
installation dir is moved, as long as the structure below $prefix
is maintained.
This method should fully support all the tricks you can to with
autotools to customize the installed layout such as overriding the
default directories at configure-time and overriding the configured
directories at build-time.
The exe path detection methods are combined from
