dmenu_run (view the source by all means) invokes dmenu with all the
binaries in the path (thanks to dmenu_path).

dmenu_path is obv. a little hack to iterate the binaries it finds,
since you can't do this easily with typical filesystems.

I know the Debian rules say you should have a manpage for every
binary, though since these commands are so tightly integrated to what
dmenu is typically used to do (launch binaries), it seems a bit of
overkill to me. Nonetheless I accept patches. ;)

Perhaps I could bury these binaries in some other place (i.e. not
/bin) in the Debian FHS as to avoid the every binary needs a man page
rule. Ho humm...
