FWIW, common/config is also called from setup.

Can we keep the existing formatting of "if foo ; then", please?

Can we just get rid of set_prog_path() and replace it with direct
calls to $(type -P foo) as an initial patch? This goes away at that
point, because new can then just use a locally coded version....

This, then, is really the only thing shared between check and new,
right? So perhaps rename the file to common/test_names so it doesn't
get confused with stuff to do with configuration?
