By calling the archive utility from the command line I am able to add more
formats easily. One thing though is that to be more robust I would like to
check the availability of the utility from the command line. One way of
doing this is using "whereis", but I was wondering if something like this
exists already in FPC?
Yes:

Combine with GetEnvironmentVariable():
Exists:=ExeSearch('myexe',GetEnvironmentVariable('PATH'));
