We could just set PATH to /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin, to be a little  
paranoid.  It's always gonna be in one of those, unless Apple pulls  
the tool, completely.

I'm not sure I see the reason for using env, either.  It's usually  
used in shebang (#!) lines to force a script interpreter to be looked  
up in PATH, rather than hardcoding its path.  But that's a different  
situation where users have, say, ruby installed in different locations.
