Search PATH for executable files with the given name.
On newer versions of MS-Windows, the PATHEXT environment variable will be
set to the list of file extensions for files considered executable. This
will normally include things like ".EXE". This function will also find files
with the given name ending with any of these extensions.
On MS-Windows the only flag that has any meaning is os.F_OK. Any other
