The detect function in TestSCons.TestScons fiddles with variables and
then calls where_is. The where_is function uses the user's PATH by
default. This means where_is returns True in situation where SCons has
no access to the executable. This means that using the where_is function
to determine whether a test should run is completely useless since it
effectively lies :-(

So what is the SCons idiom for determining whether an executable is
accessible to SCons when executing?
