Good point!
I've committed a slightly different patch, based on yours. While your
patch was fully correct, I have different preferences

Without this change it's impossible for a program to show the correct
error message when the program is foun
Set errno to either ENOENT if the program was not found, or another
error if a program was found but was no suitable (i.e., EACCES).
* modules/findprog: Depend on errno.
* lib/findprog-in.c (find_in_given_path): Save errno if it is not ENOENT
and reset errno before returning NULL.
* lib/findprog.h
