There seems to be a lot of Facter tickets that stem from a similar issue:
finding the correct executable. Here are just a few examples:

https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5013
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13396
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13678
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14541

To me, these all seem related to how Facter is determining the path for
external executables. Since there have been a lot of problems around this
issue, it seems that something should be done about it, but it's not clear
what. There have been several proposed fixes on the various tickets. Rather
than dealing with these individual bugs, it would probably be good to come
up with a unified solution for the problem. I was just hoping to get some
opinions on if/how we should do something about this.

Krzysztof Wilczynski has suggested implementing 'which' inside Facter. We
have some facts that hardcode the path to the executable.

Thoughts?
