Absolutely. Greg was always very vocal on how any other decision was
totally unacceptable.

I have hacked the D tools tests to use:

	test.where_is(tool, Base()['PATH'])

which forces where_is to use the SCons default path for the platform.
This has I think fixed the recurring problem that the D tools tests were
getting false positives for tools in the path.

However the above is a "hideous hack", we need a better default for
where_is. But I think though I have successfully made my case on
this :-)
