The reason I hardcoded it was to reduce errors because of administrators
doing stupid things with $PATH.
The other piece of functionality I am thinking about is how to tell
dracut that you should use $wherever as the place to start your searches
at for files to put on to the initrd.
It may be easier to modularize the binary installation code -- package
up the current stuff in a separate file we can source, call it the
default method, and let folks who are keen on busybox or klibc or
whatever write their own method that overrides the default one.
