Sounds sensible, but mlmmj uses execvp, which uses PATH itself, so why
should you have to parse that yourself?
Another possibility would be to use a hard coded path from configure or
some header file.

mlmmj uses no config file, so what's the use? Having different versions
of mlmmj running? That should be done with configure's --program-suffix.
Otherwise you end up having a directory for every mlmmj installation.
