[PATCH v2] whereis: search in path

[Davidlohr Bueso <dave@gnu.org>]

Sorry for the delay, lots of things on my plate these days. Below is the patch with the mentioned fixes.

From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@gnu.org>
Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2011 13:49:59 -0400

Currently this tool only uses the hardcoded paths for looking up strings for binaries, man pages and source code.
Adding directories found in $PATH makes a nice little enhancement to support a wider range of lookups.

This feature was also discussed previously here (http://www.spinics.net/lists/util-linux-ng/msg03429.html)
