PATH_USE_* is a better name.  But I think the defines should be:

PATH_USE_ANY (or ALL?)

How about PATH_USE_CONNECTED?

I don't want to bikeshed this too much as I'm not really good on names but...

How does "Connected" relate to wanting all available Path options?

Can't a connected transport use a reversible "GMP" path?

I guess that is where I am getting hung up.

Why not treat unknown type as "ANY/ALL" and return all 6 if possible.
If not possible/supported (ie like ibacm) return GMP which is always
valid.

Make sense to me..
