 There is no need to make full paths explicit - it is even an hindrance
 when one moves things around.

 Since sage-env already sets PATH correctly, let's just use that.

 The use of 'command' to test for the presence of an executable in the path
 is portable, as documented in this

 from-a-bash-script stackoverflow question].
