Searching for binaries in PATH environment variable

Description

I suggest to enhance PortalTransforms? in order to search for binaries in the PATH variable instead of the static list '/bin', '/usr/bin' et '/usr/local/bin'.

The file libtransforms/utils.py must be modified from:

bin_search_path = [ '/bin', '/usr/bin', '/usr/local/bin', ]

to:

import os bin_search_path = os.environPATH?.split(':')

Regards, Fabrice Robin

Fixed in [45616].

I still don't get the exception for Windows though: 

    if sys.platform == 'win32':
        # Directory containing 'binary' should be in PATH
        # XXX: I don't get this remark - SF
        return binary
