PS Vinay - from this post, I assume you're already looking at this
code? I was considering trying to put together a patch, but I don't want to duplicate effort if you're working on it.

I've taken a quick look at it, but I probably won't be able to make any changes until the near the end of the coming week. Feel free to have a go; the place to make changes will be near the call

is_virt = parse_shebang(...) ... if (!is_virt) { ... } else { /* In here is where the new logic will probably go. */ }

Also, the #define SEARCH_PATH needs to be uncommented to include the find_on_path function. It also enables searching the path for customised commands.

Regards,

Vinay
