please dont use the `which` program in your ebuilds ... this thing isnt even
close to having standard behavior out there plus people can unmerge it :)
instead, since we require bash for our ebuilds, use the builtin `type -p` ...
here's some easy examples:
-if which foo 2>/dev/null ; then
+if type -p foo > /dev/null ; then
-local fullpath=$(which foo 2>/dev/null)
+local fullpath=$(type -p foo)
