This whole change is unnecessary. The code already in place uses "svn_path
+ /svnlook" if the user provides svn_path, or just runs "svnlook" (which is
found automatically via a PATH search) otherwise. There's no reason to
search through PATH to verify that the user's input is correct, and in fact,
doing so makes this script less likely to work on Windows systems (where the
program could be "svnlook.exe", "svnlook.bat", etc.).
