The cvs history for src/usr.bin/which says which was removed and that "All
other shells have similar builtins."
What about third-party configure scripts and various software provided by
pkgsrc that hard-codes the usage of "which" (but obviously doesn't use any
csh)?
(An example is evolution's configure script. A run-time example was
GRAMPS until I got them to fix their code.)
If NetBSD -current provides a which(1) tool, please point me to it.
Or please point me to an alternative, so I can package it up -- because I
need it.
I have heard some discussion and have seen a variety of which
implementations, but I'll use NetBSD's if it provides one.
