This function checks if an executable with the name {expr}
exists. {expr} must be the name of the program without any
- arguments. executable() uses the normal $PATH.

+ executable() uses the value of $PATH and/or the normal
+ searchpath for programs. *PATHEXT*
+ On MS-DOS and MS-Windows the ".exe", ".bat", etc. can
+ optionally be included. Then the extensions in $PATHEXT are
+ tried. Thus if "foo.exe" does not exist, "foo.exe.bat" can be
+ found. If $PATHEXT is not set then ".exe;.com;.bat;.cmd" is
+ used. A dot by itself can be used in $PATHEXT to try using
+ the name without an extension. When 'shell' looks like a
+ Unix shell, then the name is also tried without adding an
+ extension.
+ On MS-DOS and MS-Windows it only checks if the file exists and
+ is not a directory, not if it's really executable.
The result is a Number:
1 exists
0 does not exist
