When pacman queries the ownership of an object that is not a path, it will check in the users PATH for a match. Implements FS#8798.

This was original posted a year ago... http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-November/007659.html
The comments then were that we should maybe refactor out stuff dealing with file paths, specifically removing trailing backslashes. That appears to only occur in two other places and is very simple so I do not thing it needs refactored and can be done in a spearate patch if necessary.
The only other part I do not like is the "failed to read file" error block is repeated, but I can not see a nice way to fix that.

just a heads-up, search_path() contains a memory leak; envpath is never free()'d. Note, the original envpath is lost in the call to strsep().
