How, from a script, can I get the location of the nmh executables. I don't
mean the location of the "fancy" executables that `mhparam libexecdir`
gets me, but the location of the "user" executables, like scan.
Yes, I know, it will be in $PATH, but I want to make sure that I get
the right component of $PATH.
