That still wouldn't solve all cases. I've seen code that does the 
equivalent of "which some-program", finds /bin/some-program, concludes 
that the installation prefix is "/", and proceeds to look for files in 
/share, which doesn't exist and never has.

We really need to get /bin and /sbin removed from PATH, or at least 
moved behind /usr/bin and /usr/sbin.
