git uses this approach as well, as far as i can determine, and i have found
that this approach (which seems sane to me) breaks when hosters (like mine)
hard-code the PATH to /usr/bin:/bin for non-interactive shells. That of
course breaks when fossil/git/whatever is installed in ~/bin (as on my
setup). Because of fossil's built-in CGI support, it's still the only SCM
i've ever been able to get running on my hoster (where i cannot run custom
server processes).
