I somehow thought ANYTHING_PATH was meant to point at the exact path
(as opposed to ANYTHING_COMMAND which is a command line), so it is
within our rights to do
test -x "$GIT_EXEC_PATH" || die "Your Git installation is broken"
but your suggestion above makes such a sanity check impossible.
I'd understand if it were
make PERL_PATH=$(type --path perl)
of course, though.

Yup, true, true.
