Oh no, not again. We dealt with MikTeX's `kpsewhich' about a year ago in order to get `TeX-macro-global' working (back then it was a script in aclocal.m4). At that time Christian helped quite a lot by producing extensive output from `kpsewhich' which can be found on Gmane. (The options not mentioned in the -help output we had to extract from the sources.)
