#// What this module does?
This module mimic Linux |which.exe| on Windows using Python.

Given a name, say "abc", this program will search every directory listed in Windows
environment variable |PATH|, for "executable" files that has name "abc".

#// What "executable" means?
Unlike Linux |which.exe| that uses executable bit to determine whether a file is
executable, on Windows we use file extension to determine whether a file is
executable. If a file's extension is |.exe|, |.bat|, or any other extension
defined in Windows environment variable |PATHEXT|, then the file is considered as
executable. This definition of "executable" complies with how Windows |cmd.exe|
thinks.

#// Command Line Usage:
aoiwhich.py notepad

aoiwhich.py regedit
