I'm not using this option, so my remark was just to remind you that second-guessing the user w.r.t. PATH will eventually find at least one user in an unfortunate (and in this case hard to debug) situation. So the usual advice applies: a) Just warn about the missing PATH component without changing the PATH. b) Give the user an option to let the command run with a separate PATH. Indeed there might be other things that are missing in the environment, so instead of just fixing up PATH you might consider using a wrapper that the user can change.
