Hmm. It looks my original proposal breaks some backward compatibility. Maybe
this patch is better:

Subject: [cmake-developers] Proposed change to behavior of find_program
CMake developers,
I am proposing a small change to SystemTools.cxx to address a problem I have on
multiple systems. I need find_program to return the path to an executable file
that is not marked with the read permission bit, but is marked with the execute
bit (e.g.: chmod 111 file).
On Linux systems, find_program unnecessarily requires that a file be readable.
I propose that the FileExists function be changed to test for execute
permission instead of read permission:

Comments? Thoughts?
