Argh, seems that "shtool path" is not (yet?) suitable for the job. First, the non-privileged build user might lack /sbin and /usr/sbin in it PATH. This one is solvable using the "-p" option. But second, "shtool path" searches for executables only (yes, of course). The problem is, that the shutdown binary might not be executable by non-privileged users (e.g., on FreeBSD, NetBSD) and therefore it cannot be found by "shtool path". So, hard code everything?
