Patch for finding programs anywhere on the PATH

On Windows + Cmake + MKS,   LitConfig.py can't find bash because MKS bash can
be in a non-standard location, i.e. outside of . or c:\bin

In MKS, you use regular DOS-style paths.  In fact, bash is in
c:\mks\mksnt\bash.exe on my system.


I have attached a patch to allows us to find bash wherever it exists on the
path.  It fixes what looks like an oversight in Util.which:  that function will
use the value of the PATH env var if the "paths" argument is None.
The patch simply adds the case where "paths" is an empty string.
