I inspected the code in `exists_in_PATH()` and in `locate_in_PATH()` and it looks as if neither of them depended on file-local variables (which would otherwise need to be addressed when exporting the function).

If you contribute another iteration of this patch series, it might make sense to mention this in the commit message explicitly.

Thanks, Dscho
