blueman posted a new comment:
Note: looking at the code for vm-locate-executable-file, it's not clear
to me why one tests whether locate-file is bound. It seems to be a
standard elisp function. Or did it not exist in earlier versions, so
alternative code is needed for earlier versions.

The reason I ask is that the modifications  I suggested are nearly
trivial to implement if one can assume locate-file exists since locate-
file already allows for a SUFFIXES. Otherwise, in the case locate-file
doesn't exist, one would need to add an additional loop to the manual
elisp code to loop over the list of suffixes.
