Indeed -)
It's more complicated as on windows there can be implicit 'exe', 'cmd',
'bat' suffixes but some testing shows that a path checker is faster than
calling which/where so I've added an os.[which|where] to l-os.lua that
we can use.
I've added a check to the graphic converter code but didn't test (not in
the mood to rename/remove programs and/or make a test file).
