I think we can drop these comments, as the reasoning really should just
go in the commit message.

Is there any reason not to put both into the default SANE_TOOL_PATH? If
/usr/coreutils/bin does not exist on older versions, it will be a
harmless no-op. I guess we arestuck with picking one $SHELL_PATH,
though.

OK by me.

And because of that have to modify something anyway...
But I don't really mind about an extended SANE_TOOL_PATH

This fixes the vast majority of test failures on HP NonStop.
Some test don't work with /bin/diff, some fail with /bin/tar,
so let's put /usr/local/bin in PATH first. 
Some tests fail with /bin/sh (link to /bin/ksh) so use bash instead

Your patch was whitespace damaged, but I was able to fix it up. Thanks.
