From: "brian m. carlson" <redacted>
In line with our other helper functions for paths, let's add a function
to check whether a path is executable, and if not, print a suitable
error message. Document this function, and note that it must only be
used under the POSIXPERM prerequisite, since it doesn't otherwise work
on Windows.
