 Is this ok?

 {{{
 -- On Windows, 'findExecutable' calls the Win32 function 'SearchPath',
 -- which may search other places before checking the directories in
 -- @PATH at .  Where it actually searches depends on registry settings,
 -- but notably includes the directory containing the current
 -- executable. See <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365527.aspx>
 -- for more details.
