[LLVMdev] [cfe-dev] FindExecutable

[Daniel Dunbar]

FYI, this is probably more appropriate to llvmdev.

I think someone had a patch on the llvmdev/llvm-commits list to deal
with this. Just appending .exe isn't really correct, it should also
respect .bat and the user definable things. It imagine there is a
Win32 function to help with this, but don't know what it is. The ideal
approach is to make sure the function does exactly what cmd.exe does.
