Comment(by Snark):

 If there is a kash on your system, there shouldn't be any problem using
 it. Just because it doesn't come from sage doesn't mean it's wrong.

 My patch makes sage less fragile (less error cases) and more portable (use
 of 'command' to test the presence of an executable) and less surprising
 (don't go against what sage-env says it PATH). It doesn't have the side
 effect of running something out-of-sage when it's available in-sage. What
 exactly is the problem?

 [I can't make more patches public : I already made public those that
 looked good (see #12623, #12624, #12639 in addition of this one), and the
 rest were too hackish and are probably obsolete now. Besides, this one
 patch here has enough merits of its own.]
